title: Front-end built-in web components roadmap
description: >
    This page is a working document to track the development of the front-end built-in web components for uibuilder. It is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all features or changes, but rather a high-level overview of the main areas of development.
    It is expected that this page will be updated frequently as development progresses and new features are added or changed.
