This page tracks where the project stands and what’s coming next. It’s a static list for now; the plan is to wire it up to this project’s GitHub Issues so it reflects real, open work automatically instead of a hand-maintained list.
Shipped
- Faceted search across body system, inheritance pattern, age of onset, and rarity class, with symptom matching in free-text search
- Real-time search and filtering powered by Pagefind, with no backend
- Light and dark themes, with an automated accessibility test suite (axe-core + Playwright) checked in CI
- About, Privacy Policy, Contact, and Milestones pages
- A Netlify Forms-backed contact form
- A modern SVG zebra logo, replacing the original hexagon mark
- A printable, citable PDF view for each disease detail page, with an Orphanet source citation and data release date
- Orphanet’s own disease definitions on each detail page, for the 772 diseases that have one
- “Learn more” links on each disease page to Orphanet, plus OMIM, Monarch, and ICD-11 where Orphanet lists an exact match
- Searches saved in the URL, so they can be bookmarked or shared, and “Back to search” on a disease page returns to the same results
Planned
- Expand disease coverage toward the full Orphadata catalogue. The site currently covers a sample of 921 of the real 10,101 diseases in Orphadata’s dataset.
- Broader body-system coverage by pulling in more classifications than the current sample covers.
- Typo-tolerant search, so a misspelled disease or symptom name still finds a match.
- Symptom (phenotype) filtering as an additional search facet.
- Live GitHub Issues integration for this page, so it reflects real open work automatically instead of this static list.
