This file provides an overview of the direction this project is heading.
As described in #329, I no longer have the possibility of working on Sniffnet full-time, so expect updates to come at a slower pace with respect to the past.
I'll keep maintaining Sniffnet in my spare time and I'll try my best to target all the following points.
