+## Other Helpful Modules
+The stuff here is unrelated to the main purpose of ez-a-sync, but cool and useful nonetheless
+
+### asyncio
+
+The `ez-a-sync` library extends the functionality of Python's `asyncio` module with additional utilities to simplify asynchronous programming.
+
+- **as_completed**: This function allows you to iterate over awaitables as they complete, similar to `asyncio.as_completed`. It supports both synchronous and asynchronous iteration. [Learn more about `as_completed`](#https://bobthebuidler.github.io/ez-a-sync/source/a_sync.html#a_sync.asyncio.as_completed).
+
+- **gather**: A utility to run multiple asynchronous operations concurrently and wait for all of them to complete. It is similar to `asyncio.gather` but integrates seamlessly with the `ez-a-sync` library. [Learn more about `gather`](#https://bobthebuidler.github.io/ez-a-sync/source/a_sync.html#a_sync.asyncio.gather).
+
+- **create_task**: A function to create a new task from a coroutine, similar to `asyncio.create_task`, but with additional features provided by `ez-a-sync`. [Learn more about `create_task`](#https://bobthebuidler.github.io/ez-a-sync/source/a_sync.html#a_sync.asyncio.create_task).
+
+- **as_completed**: This function allows you to iterate over awaitables as they complete, similar to `asyncio.as_completed`. It supports both synchronous and asynchronous iteration. [Learn more about `as_completed`](#https://bobthebuidler.github.io/ez-a-sync/source/a_sync.html#a_sync.asyncio.as_completed).
+
+These utilities enhance the standard `asyncio` module, providing more flexibility and control over asynchronous operations. For detailed documentation and examples, please refer to the [documentation](#https://bobthebuidler.github.io/ez-a-sync/source/a_sync.html#a_sync.asyncio)
+
+### future
+The future module is something totally different.
