⚠️⚠️⚠️ Since April 22nd there were a lot of DDoS attacks on Spectral. I'm working on it, but sometimes the site might be slow to respond or unresponsive.100%

Roadmap

Note, that the plans will shift a lot. As my life drifts away from Dota being a center piece of it, I have way less time to work on things (and, admittedly, it's way too much stuff I want to make, that is bearable). Thus, many plans will likely change.

If you want to be up to date with everything, please go to my Discord.

Note 2: This page will be updated occasionally, when stuff happens. It's unlikely to be up to date all the time.
