Roadmap (informal — dates are aspirational)
v1.1 — Firefox
Firefox MV3 build from the same codebase. WebExtensions API is mostly compatible; cookies and alarms work identically.
v1.2 — Snipe history export
CSV export of your won/lost history. Local-only, in line with the privacy model.
v1.3 — Bid groups
"Snipe these three items, stop after one wins." Matches the group-bid feature most server-side snipers have. Local-only. Your groups don't leave your machine.
v2.0 — Smart Max Bid (assistive)
Optional AI-assisted max-bid suggestion based on completed-listing history. Strictly opt-in. Strictly local: runs against eBay's public sold listings, never sends your auction data anywhere.
