RubyEnv Roadmap

Our development roadmap shows what we're working on, what's coming next, and what we've recently shipped. We're committed to making RubyEnv the best Ruby development environment for macOS. Note: If something is under "Considering", it means we're exploring the idea but haven't committed to building it yet.
