@ -6,7 +6,7 @@ The current Glance program is an experiment created to answer the question:
For small to medium functions, in my opinion Glance produces images good enough to indicate that the answer is yes. For large functions, the results right now are inconclusive due to issues with graph layout. Specifically, large programs unnecessarily become very spread out. If you have any ideas about how to improve Glance, please [create an issue](https://github.com/rgleichman/glance/issues/new).
The next steps for the project are to improve graph layout, and then to start work on a visual editor.

## Issues
Glance is still in development, so for the time being, graph layout, line routing, and icon design all have much room for improvement. Here are some specific issues:
* Text may be misaligned with some SVG viewers.
* Images become very spread out when rendering medium to large functions.
* [Images become very spread out when rendering medium to large functions](https://github.com/rgleichman/glance/issues/1).
* Only a subset of Haskell is rendered.
