Includes the project ideas and Plans that I have.

1. I want to create some sort of automatic telegram channel content downloader, meaning if there is something that I want from a channel to be downloaded it should download it automatically.
2. Fuzzy search enabled notes manager and synchronisations, that will totally be helpful if merged with bookmarks

• iterfzf for fuzzy finding
• git for synchronisation
• xsel or something similar for clipboard

1. Automatic mount with rclone and having some good speed
2. An automated script for the automation of scenarios in MPTCP
