+# TODO
+
+## Necessary
+[] fix project creation - this should just work out of the box
+[] remove automatic code layout for now
+
+## Nice to Have
+[] remove audio
+[] 4coder projects should have a startup script - so you can do things like add cl to the path
+
+## Languages I Use
+[] markdown - at the very least, this doesn't need to get any syntax highlighting (tho marks ie ## and * etc could)
+
+# DONE
