The road ahead

ROADMAP

What's in the library, what's being polished, and what comes after.

Made by one person! I'm Jesse, thanks for being on my page. I appreciate you taking the time to read all of this. Below is the roadmap, with things that are already in it, things that are planned sooner, or later. Things get added all the time, so keep an eye on here!

IN THE LIBRARY NOW

Built, and being polished every day
