The response to the article has been amazing — thank you all for the stars, downloads, and feedback! It really keeps me motivated 🙏

Here’s the current roadmap, prioritized without fixed timelines (since I’m maintaining this solo, progress depends heavily on community feedback and contributions):

🔜 Near-term Goals (Highest Priority)

• Full SVG support for custom markers, module shapes, and cursors (bringing all advanced styling to SVG, not just PNG)
• Launch of HeroQr.ir – a dedicated documentation website with interactive examples, live playground, and detailed guides
• Increased test coverage (more comprehensive unit tests)
• Improved error handling with custom HeroQR exceptions
• Overall performance optimizations

⏳ Mid-term Goals

• GD resource caching system — caching merged marker and cursor images (to avoid re-drawing the same custom shapes on every QR generation)
• Deeper Laravel integration (dedicated Facade, publishable config, better Service Provider — possibly a Laravel-optimized edition)
• New exclusive cursor, shape, and marker designs
• Continued performance improvements and expanded testing

🌟 Long-term Vision

• Additional output formats with full support for custom styling.
• Gradient support for modules, markers, etc.
• Independent coloring for cursors and markers.
• More advanced and creative styling options driven by the community

I’m running this project solo, so your feedback and contributions make a huge difference!
