+# Todoer.nvim - Enhanced TODO Management for Neovim
+
+A Neovim plugin that provides enhanced TODO list management with smart handling of checkboxes, indentation, and list items in markdown and other text formats.
+
+## Features
+
+✅ **Current Functionality:**
+- Smart TODO item creation with `<leader>ti`, `<leader>ta`, `<leader>to`
+- Toggle checkboxes with `<leader>tt`
+- Remove TODO markup with `<leader>td`
+- Smart Enter key handling in insert mode:
+  - Creates new TODO items with proper indentation
+  - Handles empty TODO items by outdenting or terminating lists
+- Tab/Shift-Tab indentation for TODO items
+- Supports multiple list markers: `-`, `*`, `+`
+- Works with markdown, text, and norg files by default
+
+## Known Issues
+
+🐛 **Current Bugs:**
+- Tab indentation handling still uses feedkeys and needs refactoring
+- Shift-Tab behavior may not be consistent with spaces vs tabs
+- Edge cases with mixed indentation (spaces + tabs) not fully handled
+- Cursor positioning could be improved in some scenarios
+
+## Roadmap
+
+📌 **Planned Improvements:**
+- [ ] Refactor tab indentation to use proper buffer operations
+- [ ] Add support for numbered lists
+- [ ] Add support for nested TODO items with proper indentation
+- [ ] Add visual selection operations for multiple TODOs
+- [ ] Add commands for archiving completed items
+- [ ] Add support for custom TODO markers
+- [ ] Add support for custom checkbox states (e.g., `[ ]`, `[x]`, `[-]`)
