How we prioritize

Our roadmap is driven by three inputs:

1. What customers request most — we track feature requests from support tickets and the contact form. Popular requests move up.
2. What differentiates Field Forge — features that set us apart from ACF, SCF, and other alternatives (AI, headless, custom table, schema versioning).
3. What the team can ship well — we’d rather ship a polished feature later than a rushed feature now.

If something isn’t on the roadmap but is important to you, tell us. Aligned ideas often move quickly.
