fast Hacks

This project started out as a library of my notes, what I was currently learning, and what I wanted to learn. Now it has grown into a very useful tool as you can see below the things I am working on. Please note that many of these features are not fully implemented. I would love them to all work, but have little time to commit to this project, so if you want to help let me know!
