Well @akash1209dev look, we are already done with the quotes. Maybe we will improve it later.
Games are at work in Process.
You can use todo as a note too.
We are not going with the music player for the present time.
Someone else have to include the finance tracker as we don't have that much knowledge about it.
Weather is already included.
And lastly other suggestions are kind of useless for me.
