+# TypedFetch Roadmap
+
+## Philosophy
+TypedFetch aims to be the most developer-friendly HTTP client for TypeScript. Every feature should reduce complexity, improve type safety, or make common patterns easier.
+
+## Version 0.3.0 - Developer Experience (Q1 2025)
+
+### Mock & Testing Utilities
+- [ ] Built-in request mocking for tests
+- [ ] Record/replay functionality for API responses
+- [ ] Type-safe mock generation from OpenAPI specs
+- [ ] Test helpers for common scenarios
+
+### Better Error Context
+- [ ] Stack trace preservation across async boundaries
+- [ ] Request/response snapshots in errors
+- [ ] Automatic retry history in error objects
+- [ ] Network timing breakdowns
+
+### Developer Tools Integration
+- [ ] Browser DevTools extension
+- [ ] VS Code extension for request building
+- [ ] Request collection management (like Postman, but in your IDE)
+- [ ] Live request debugging
+
+## Version 0.4.0 - Type System Power (Q2 2025)
+
+### Advanced Type Inference
+- [ ] OpenAPI schema import for automatic typing
+- [ ] GraphQL query type inference
+- [ ] JSON Schema validation at compile time
+- [ ] Type-safe URL building with template literals
+
+### API Documentation Generation
+- [ ] Generate TypeScript types from live APIs
+- [ ] Automatic API documentation from usage
+- [ ] Type-safe API versioning support
+
+## Version 0.5.0 - Performance & Resilience (Q2 2025)
+
+### Connection Management
+- [ ] HTTP/2 connection pooling
+- [ ] Smart connection reuse
+- [ ] Automatic protocol negotiation
+- [ ] Connection health monitoring
+
+### Advanced Caching
+- [ ] Predictive prefetching
+- [ ] Stale-while-revalidate support
+- [ ] Partial response caching
+- [ ] Cache warming strategies
+
+### Observability
+- [ ] OpenTelemetry integration
+- [ ] Performance metrics collection
+- [ ] Request tracing support
+- [ ] Custom metric collectors
+
+## Version 0.6.0 - Real-time & Streaming (Q3 2025)
+
+### WebSocket Support
+- [ ] Type-safe WebSocket client
+- [ ] Automatic reconnection
+- [ ] Message queuing during disconnects
+- [ ] Binary protocol support
+
+### Advanced Streaming
+- [ ] Stream transformers library
+- [ ] Backpressure handling
+- [ ] Stream composition utilities
+- [ ] Progress events for all operations
+
+## Version 1.0.0 - Production Ready (Q4 2025)
+
+### Security Enhancements
+- [ ] Certificate pinning
+- [ ] Request signing (AWS, OAuth)
+- [ ] Automatic security header management
+- [ ] Content Security Policy helpers
+
+### Enterprise Features
+- [ ] Proxy auto-configuration
+- [ ] NTLM/Kerberos authentication
+- [ ] Client certificate support
+- [ ] Audit logging
+
+### Stability
+- [ ] 100% test coverage
+- [ ] Performance regression suite
+- [ ] Backward compatibility guarantees
+- [ ] Long-term support plan
+
+## Future Considerations
+
+### Protocol Support
+- HTTP/3 (QUIC) when browser support matures
+- gRPC-Web integration
+- WebTransport for bidirectional streaming
+
+### Framework Integration
+- First-class React Server Components support
+- Nuxt module
+- SvelteKit adapter
+- Remix utils
+
+### Standards Alignment
+- Fetch API parity
+- Service Worker integration
+- Web Streams API throughout
+- Import maps support
+
+## Contributing
+
+We welcome contributions! Priority areas:
+1. Testing infrastructure improvements
+2. Documentation and examples
+3. Framework-specific adapters
+4. Performance optimizations
+
+## Principles for New Features
+
+Before adding any feature, ask:
+1. Does it make the 80% use case easier?
+2. Can it be tree-shaken if not used?
+3. Does it maintain our <15KB core bundle size?
+4. Is it possible to implement without dependencies?
+5. Does it improve developer experience?
+
+Features we'll likely reject:
+- Anything that adds required dependencies
+- Features that complicate basic usage
+- Protocol-specific additions that few developers need
+- Anything that breaks backward compatibility
