ROADMAP / FUTURE FEATURES?

I imagine these would be part of an "advanced" sidebar that the user can enable, if they want

I'll create issues for these soon... but developers: feel free to work on these and submit PRs

general

• folder support: load an entire folder (and recursively grab all subfolders) of Yarn files at once, let you jump between all the different files easily within the same session
• variable debug: let you manually define / set pre-defined variables for testing purposes
• log history: a record of your choices, node changes, variable changes, and any Yarn Commands that would've been executed... and let user save out their log file (good for testing)
• webGL support: open a webpage, drag and drop yarn.txt files to load them, host on github pages

visualization and testing

• nodemap: visualize your nodes (and present "shortcut choices" as a mini hierarchy of nodes) and your path through them... make sure to draw it based on the X/Y/color info for each node
• nodemap auto-test: automatically play through your yarn file, making random choices, and visualize a heatmap of nodes that were frequently visited and/or not reachable
• nodemap skein: like the Inform 7 skein ... keep track of all your choices as well as the expected output... if output has changed, then it notifies you

maybe in the long future...

• editor: make Yarn Weaver into an editor itself, a more complex alternative to the original Yarn editor
• utility: make Yarn Weaver into more of an all-purpose tool that talks to YarnSpinner to run command line stuff, etc
