The roadmap for Zorto to v1 release.

Stable & production-ready #

The release of v1.0.0 of Zorto will primarily indicate readiness for production; the APIs are stable, the code is well-tested and high-quality. Until that point, I’m favoring iteration speed. That said, Zorto is in production powering this website and all of my own static websites.

Improved check for test/lint/compile #

For people & agents, zorto check should provide confidence that a website is following best practices. Done — zorto check validates broken links, frontmatter, and missing assets.

Good default themes #

I want at least 8, ideally 16 or more good default themes. Done — 16 built-in themes shipped, all with light and dark mode support.

Skills & more for agents #

I want to build in skills that people or agents can install for ease of use. I may consider adding an MCP server.

Desktop app and local web app (GUIs) #

I want to ship a desktop app (iced GUI) and web app (TBD) that will make it even easier for users to get started with their first website. I may allow you to plug your agent into these UIs to see your website come to life as well.

Improved executable code blocks #

Currently, the executable code blocks are quite limited. I want to add support for freezing pages (i.e. caching the results), visualizations through common Python libraries, and perhaps more languages. This is an extremely powerful feature to continue building on.

Built-in search (done) #

Zorto search is moving to DuckDB. The current zorto.dev implementation ships site.ddb, loads DuckDB-Wasm on demand, and queries search data in the browser.

Ease of use #

I want Zorto to be the easiest to use SSG for people & agents in this new era of AI. Docs must be excellent. Website creation should be easy.
