NanaZip is an open source file archiver intended for the modern Windows experience, forked from the source code of well-known open source file archiver 7-Zip 21.03.
**Warning: This project is in early stages of development, the final product may differ from what you see now.**
We need help to translate NanaZip into native languages that have not been supported.
# Development Roadmap
