Hi Devran, could you help me to understand, is it intended writing behaviour that divides writing with bits and bytes? For example: ```swift var bin = Binary(bytes: []) bin.writeBit(bit: 1) bin.writeByte(8) ``` I would expect the binary is `0b1000_0100_0000_0000` - padded with zeros to the end of the byte. The Actual result is `0b1000_0000_0000_1000` - written byte adde as next but bit cursor still points to the position '1'.

Hi @aserdobintsev, to be honest I always wondered what the best result might look like — and never had a good answer. In the end I thought: Every time I write a bit, I should also fill up the other remaining 7 bits in order to get predictable results and be able to add other bytes. Does that makes sense? 🤔
