Roadmap

2020

While 2019 featured a host of improvements focused on the developer experience and the tools and libraries for PWA Studio, 2020 will bring a renewed focus on the shopper experience. The Venia reference storefront requires additional functionality/features to showcase a best-in-class example of a progressive web application for a robust web storefront. The core team focus for 2020 will be on the delivery of Venia features to ensure developers have a complete storefront to begin their own builds. Additionally, it will provide merchants with a more robust example of what's possible with a PWA Studio developed storefront.

PWA Studio Release Notes

In Progress (2H 2020: Q4)

_We'll continue to focus on launching new Venia features and optimizing the existing Venia reference storefront to create compelling shopper experiences. The new feature development will most importantly focus on desktop experience (where Venia has previously prioritized a mobile-first approach). We'll continue the role out of the newly delivered extensibility framework, including additional documentation and tutorials. We'll also revisit previous Studio areas to ensure we are delivering the tools and frameworks necessary for best-in-class storefront management and operations.
