Hey there - totally agree on the need for us to focus on the “unsexy stuff”.
It is what we’ve been primarily focused on for the Mark II lately, and whilst we’ve made some good progress it has highlighted a lot of the limitations of the current mycroft-core framework. Rather than putting more patches on top, we really need to look at what foundational pieces would improve these as a whole.
To that end, we’re developing a new development roadmap at the moment and want to get everyone’s help in identifying these “unsexy foundational fundamentals” that need to be addressed. I’ve posted a list of the ones that we’ve already seen and heard here:
But I’m sure there is more…
We really want to get this right before adding lots of bells and whistles on top. An amazing new Mimic 3 TTS is awesome but if we aren’t meeting basic expectations then it won’t grow to what it could become.
So would love any and all thoughts in that thread!
