Timeline

What is coming, then what has changed, newest first. The guide's own words are not among it: those are the Inner Development Goals' and they change only when the Foundation publishes a correction. What changes is how you reach them.

What's coming

Plans, not promises. No dates, and the order can change.

• Out of testing and into the stores. The open test is the last step before the app is simply there, on the App Store and Google Play, for anyone.
• More languages in the app. The site reads in thirteen; the app carries ten. Welsh, Dutch and Shona are transcribed and waiting on a speaker of each to read the words the app puts around the guide.
• A developer API for reading the guide. The whole guide — five dimensions, twenty-five skills, in every language — as plain, versioned files to fetch. Reading only: no key, no account, and Inner Development Goals' licence and attribution travelling with the text.
• An iPad edition. The same app in a bigger box: the card keeps its measure and the screen decides how many of them you see at once.

2 September 2026

• The app is in open testing. Both stores approved it for public testing, so anyone can try it before it is published — on iPhone through TestFlight, on Android through Google Play. Leave an address and the link arrives by email.

27 August 2026

• Search the guide where you are reading it. Type on any skills page and it filters as you go, marking what matched — in that page's own language, without leaving it.
• The whole guide on one page. A printable A4 sheet with all five dimensions and twenty-five skills, one for each of the thirteen languages. The button sits beside the search field.

20 August 2026

• Dutch. The official translation, now here to read and to download.

16 August 2026

• Every language its own address. The guide reads in all ten shipped languages, each at a URL a search engine can find and you can share.
• Welsh. The official translation, now here to read and to download.
• Shona. The official translation, now here to read and to download.

15 August 2026

• The guide became a page. Five dimensions, twenty-five skills, in the Foundation's own words — nothing paraphrased, nothing added.
• Every official translation on one shelf. The complete guide as a PDF in each language, on links that stay put, free to download and share.

14 August 2026

• Occasional news, and a way to write back. An email field for the rare announcement — a new language, a release — and a contact page with the two addresses that matter.

12 August 2026

• A way to support the work. Donations in twenty currencies, once or monthly. They buy nothing: everything here is the same either way, for everyone.

8 August 2026

• It began as an app. An edition of the guide you could carry, and — so the idea could be tried before it was built — a working prototype of that app, running in a browser at idg.guide: the five dimensions as cards, each swiping through its five skills, in eleven languages, light or dark, and nothing to sign up for. The site has grown well past it since; the prototype is still there.
• The privacy and terms pages were written the same week the prototype was — what is collected, what is not, and whose words the guide's are.
