+A tabletop initiative/etc. tracker, for games such as 13th Age.
+
+## General Goals
+
+- Easy commands to clear the board, add new PCs/monsters
+- Track initiative order, hit points, maybe more?
+  - Expanded support for stuff like 13th Age's escalation die
+- Manipulate tracked state via keyboard, no mouse needed
+- Log activity in order to allow me to go back to my notes later
