+* Organic - Free Range Org-Mode
+Organic is an emacs-less implementation of an [[https://orgmode.org/][org-mode]] parser.
+* Project Status
+This project is a personal learning project to grow my experience in [[https://www.rust-lang.org/][rust]]. It is under development and at this time I would not recommend anyone use this code. The goal is to turn this into a project others can use, at which point more information will appear in this README.
