+## Shortcomings
+
+As I mentioned, this is meant to be an exercise task, not a real project. But, if you want to turn it into something useable, here are some suggestions on what you could do:
+- Implement deletion of accounts and messages
+- Replace text files with an actual database (because the file system doesn't scale at all)
+- Add networking and maybe server application (or make it peer-to-peer)
+- Implement friends and notifications and viewing accounts inside chats
+- Add a biography/description field inside profiles
+- Add profile email and implement a mail service (send password confirmation emails and such)
+- Implement UI customization, or just rework the UI as a whole
