The problem with those TODOs and generally why i turned for help -
because i got bored of rewriting what i did in a bad way  This is the
part of the learning process, but still annoying and demotivating.
"Leaving the project" already happened, so this is me actually
thinking of doing a few improvements in the following months.

No, i am not looking for someone to take over, one of the goals is
that i learn, so i have to / want to be in this. Also, there is no
maintenance yet since it is not finished nor ready for release.
What i actually need in one word is - mentoring. To tell me if my
design/structure/code is wrong and prevent me from burning my time on
something that is not worth it.

BR, Miroslav.
