I'll describe a way to construct an A-infinity category associated to a contact manifold, analogous to a Fukaya category for a symplectic manifold. The objects of this category are Legendrian submanifolds equipped with augmentations. Currently we're focusing on standard contact R^3 but we're hopeful that we can extend this to other contact manifolds. I'll discuss some properties of this contact Fukaya category, including generation by unknots and a potential application to proving that ``augmentations = sheaves''. This is joint work in progress with Tobias Ekholm and Vivek Shende.
