Roadmap¶
This page features a basic project roadmap, showing what features I have planned for each big milestone of Cadenzier, as well as a few comments. Items are listed in approximate chronological order. Exact deadlines are not given, as they're too unpredictable, because:

- I am a student, and life is unpredictable.
