 # Future Outlook
 
-- alternative audio backends
-  - supercollider wasm?
-  - web audio modules
-- pluggable ui controls
+- Track TidalCycles 2.0 beat-based representation
+- (slow) community growth
 - block based evaluation
 - live collaboration
+- more audio backends
+- interface experiments, e.g.:
+  - alternative syntax, visual notations
+  - time scrubbing
+  - ui controls

 # What's good
 
-- Low barrier of entry for non-techies
-- good for teaching music / coding
-- beginner friendly syntax (slightly more verbose)
-- beginner friendly visualizations
-- portable (runs on most devices)
-- sharable
-- lower barrier of entry for contributors
-- strudel features feeding back into tidal
\ No newline at end of file
+- Zero-install, multi-platform
+- works (surprisingly) well on mobile devices
+- visual feedback good for teaching + learning
+- loads of potential contributors
+- instant pattern sharing
+- two-way flow of features between strudel and tidal
+- full mini-notation in hydra and gibber
