System roadmap Rolling backlog Updated Aug 22, 2026

What the system is doing next.

The roadmap for the Liseland design system itself — kept public because predictability is a system's most underrated feature. Consumers should know what's coming, what's changing, and what's going away, without asking.

Three columns:
New / Migration / Deprecation
Priority
Hi Med Lo
Net-new
5
Token pipeline
v0.3.0
Style Dictionary source of truth. Outputs CSS, iOS Swift, Android XML, JS constants from one JSON. Unblocks everything downstream.
React primitives
v0.4.0
Box, Stack, Cluster, Text, Grid. The five things everything else composes from.
Storybook + MDX docs
v0.5.0
Deployed publicly. Every component ships with usage, do/don't, prop reference, a11y notes, and a Figma link.
Dark theme
v0.6.0
Built through the semantic token layer. Ships with a documented theme-switching pattern.
Motion primitives
v0.7.0
Duration, easing, transition tokens. prefers-reduced-motion honored at the token level.
Migration
3
CSS vars → semantic tokens
v0.3.0
Site currently uses raw CSS custom properties. Migrate every usage to the semantic token layer. Codemod ships with the release.
HTML pages → React routes
v1.0.0
Every page rebuilt using the design system components. Same URL structure, same content. Zero-downtime cutover via a build-time bridge.
Inline styles → components
v1.1.0
Case study pages have some remaining one-off styles. Fold into Callout, PullQuote, StatCard as they earn their keep.
Deprecation
2
--bg-soft token
Removed v1.0.0
Rarely used, and where it is used, --paper or --bg would be more semantic. Deprecation warning ships in v0.5. Removed in v1.0.
Marquee component
Removed v0.4.0
Original home page had a scrolling marquee. Replaced with the chapter-break pattern in stage 02. Pattern retired, docs archived.

How to read this board

Every item has a version, a priority, and a short reason for existing. Priorities are relative to the current stage of the system, not absolute — a high today may not be a high in a quarter.

Items only move forward — from Net-new into a release, or from Migration into "shipped." Nothing sits here longer than one quarter without a written note explaining why.
