Roadmap

This is just a personal project intended to learn Rust, so things move slowly. Currently it is an Alpha release because there are several things missing but it works and can be useful for someone.

This is a list of things I plan to do:

  • Add documentation (the rust way)
  • Refactoring (as I learn more Rust things)
  • Tests
  • Smart timestamp highlights
  • ... whatever I can think of when I am using it
