+# Dev notes — 2023-08-29
+
+Short-term goals:
+
+- [ ] Move notes, issues to their own branches
+- [ ] Make worktrees for those branches
+  - NB: VS Code's git management tools work fine with worktree folders if you open them in a new window -- but opening them in a workspace doesn't work
+
+- [ ] split into card, io, graph, all bound together in cardiograph.js
+
+- [ ] new CLI interface
+  - [ ] arg parser
+- [ ] assembler output on stdout
+- [ ] trash run-assembler
+
+- [ ] fix overflow flag
+- [ ] implement 'jmp ($FF)' on startup
+  - [ ] implement ROM
