{% hint style="info" %}
That's all we can share for now! Our long-term vision for Hypothesis includes plenty of plans, but startups move fast and roadmaps can change at the drop of a hat, so we don't think its very helpful to talk publicly about stuff more than 6 months out. Relevant stakeholders can contact **<info@hypothesis.fyi>** with inquiries. Keep an eye on this page for updates!
