+# planned features
+1.) finish hash cracking with a dedictated cracking rig code.
+
+2.) cracte hash cracking with current computer code.
+
+3.) adapt new project code to searh the upcomming folder before prompting for a path.
+
+4.) create code that moves projects to a "writing" state and folder.
+
+5.) create code that tracks "current, upcomming, and writing" states, maybe automatic zipping of folders after writing is done?
+
+# Unplanned, but would be cool
+1.) create a "server" and "Client" infrastructure that can help manage the distrobox clients and the main server
+
+2.) maybe expand this server client model to interact with cracking rigs and what not.
+
+3.) implment a function to searchsploit and copy wanted exploits to the project folder.
+
+4.) implement a function to execute those copied exploits.
+
+
+# NOTE
+if you wish to contribute, please do! just fix a bug or implement any of the above features and make a pull request!! 
+
+I'll keep plugging away as I have time throughout my days as well.
