Future Plans

Important

• Find a proper name for the app (SignaVis is a working title)

UI

• Improve Help UI (especially shortcuts)
• Visually emphasise sets and their hierarchy (SCSS / UX)
• Replace compact inline edit with highlighting of Properties tab (visual affordance)
• Show language selector in the top bar
• Accept editable/persistent dropdown options (Song Type, etc.)
• Provide preset Labeling App settings (optional)

Labeling & Taxonomy

• Import / create custom species lists
• Move with axis lock & bounds (x/y)
• Autoshrink: adapt labels to call when moving (resize automatically)
• Split attributes into groups (e.g. "Xeno Canto Labels" / "Manual Labels")
• Better synchronise and unify multiple suggestion sources
• Group BirdNET labels under a default "BirdNET" set
• Support annotation sets spanning multiple recordings
• Drag & drop to reassign labels between species inside a set
• Context menu for annotation sets (duplicate, delete, rename)

Editing & Interaction

• Undo/Redo (implemented)
• Select and show targets on the map

Export & Persistence

• Export / import annotations (JSON, Raven, etc.)
• Persist current state so reload preserves session
• Persist labeler metadata in Xeno‑Canto tab (author, licence, ...)

Features & Analysis

• Implement similarity detector / suggestion system

Distribution / Standalone

• Provide a standalone app build
• In standalone: allow marking audio files/folders for batch analysis

UX / Misc

• Show download progress when audio files are downloaded
• Support very long recordings (multi-hour) (maybe use static XC sonogram generation for long recordings)
• Clean up quickfixes and workarounds
• Validate single source of truth for state
• Save labels immediately on modification (not only on leaving a recording)
