 ## Overview of Tasks
 
-* **Improve cursor handling on Wayland** *(Highest Priority)*
+* **Evaluate and Replace NutJS with Better Options** *(Highest Priority)*
 
   * Resolve cursor position desynchronization on Wayland (e.g., KDE).
   * Investigate virtual input devices or alternative input injection methods.
+  * Ensure native OS handling of cursor movement, scrolling, and gestures.
   * Ensure the cursor position is either correctly synced or reliably indicated.
 
 <!-- Already done
 * **Improve keyboard input handling**
 
   * Ensure consistent multi-character input (e.g., glide typing, voice input).
--->
 
 * **Complete and normalize key mappings**
 
   * Modifier keys, navigation keys, function keys, and media keys.
+-->
 
 * **Ensure cross-platform compatibility**
 
   * Test across operating systems and display protocols.
   * Automate creation of distributables for all supported platforms
     (Linux must be distributed as a Flatpak).
   * Document platform-specific limitations and behavior.
- 
+
+<!-- Already done
 * **Authentication**
 
   * Use an authentication token passed via URL (link and QR code).
 
   * Persist tokens on the server after successful connection.
 
   * Expire tokens after a defined period of inactivity.
- 
-* **Screen mirror**
+-->
 
-  * Explore possibility of screen mirroring on the trackpad region.
+* **Low Latency Audio & Screen mirror**
+
+  * Explore possibility of screen mirroring on the trackpad region, i.e. cursor movement should be possible over the mirror itself.
 
 * **Improve UI/UX**
 
   * Make the interface more intuitive and easier to use.
 
+* **Propose Significant Improvements (Beyond LLM-Generated Suggestions)**
+
+  * Identify areas where unnecessary complexity can be reduced.
+  * Suggest simpler, more maintainable implementations where applicable.
+  * Highlight sections that would benefit from using well-suited libraries instead of custom logic.
+
+
 <!-- Added complexity might not be worth it, will reconsider this in future
 * **Improve LAN accessibility**
 
   * Enable stable LAN access without relying on changing IP addresses, which currently requires re-scanning.
   * This'll help when system input fails and the app is configured to auto-start.
