-# NotesTK
+# Stuff From Scratch
 
-Notes Toolkit (NotesTK) is a set of tools for building applications focused on taking and organising notes, like study or research materials.
+This is a hobby-repo I use for learning about different software technologies by trying to build stuff from scratch.
 
-## Project Goals
+It covers a bunch of areas:
 
-* Cross-platform
-* Low third-party dependencies
-* Permissive licensing
-* Simplicity over performance
+* Build tooling
+* Audio and Video
+* 3D modelling
+* Desktop window management and UIs
 
-## Project Status
+Nothing here should be used in a real project :) 
 
-🚨🚨🚨 The codebase is at a very early/prototype stage and under heavy active development🚨🚨🚨 
 
-In addition to feature development I've been using it to get up-to-speed on various media formats and desktop and rendering APIs. It is strongly recommended to only use it as a reading reference. 
-
-Expect:
-
-* No Docs or tagged releases
-* Large commits and significant breaking changes
-* Unreliable/untested APIs
-* Naive/low-performance implementations
-
-The only currently recommended use case is if you are implementing some element of the library functionality and want to see how someone else has tackled it, maybe you will see something useful.
-
-# Building 
-
-Many project features (e.g. Wayland integration) only build if suitable third-party dependencies are found on the system, otherwise they will be automatically disabled. You can find dependency requirements in the `README.md` file in each module's `src`directory.
-
-A minimal set of dependencies for each platform are included below.
-
-## Linux
-
-Install dependencies:
-
-```bash
-sudo apt-get install build-essential pkg-config cmake 
-```
-
-Build:
-
-```bash
-mkdir build
-cd build
-cmake $PATH_TO_SOURCE
-make
-apps/$NAME_OF_APP
-```
-
-## Windows
-
-Tested with Visual Studio 17 with 'Desktop Development with C++' tooling, including ATL and Windows SDK 10 (10.0.19041.0). Additionally, install `cmake`. 
-
-```bash
-mkdir build
-cd build
-cmake $PATH_TO_SOURCE
-```
-
-You can open the resulting `NotesTK.sln`in Visual Studio and build.
