+Description
+-----------
+
+Noteless provides a simple command line interface to note taking.
+
+What makes this different than simply using a command line text editor is there
+is no need to type paths or file extensions. It handles all of the file
+management without having to change directories. It can also perform search
+operations without having to write a long command.
+
+
+Prerequisites
+-------------
+* gcc
+* make
+
+
+Installation
+------------
+
+* Clone this repository
+* cd noteless
+* make
+
+There is currently no **make install** for noteless yet, but the binary will
+run from anywhere. Just symlink it to **~/bin/noteless** (or just copy it
+there), add ~/bin to your path, and you should be good to go.
+
+Another method is to create an alias. Noteless is a single binary, so it will
+run from any location.
+
+
+Commands
+--------
+
+* *cat*: Outputs the specified note's contents verbatim.
+* *new*: Creates the specified note and opens for editing.
+* *edit*: Opens the specified note for editing.
+* *find*: Performs a case insensitive search of all notes, displaying only
+ the lines that match along with their line numbers and files from which
+ they came.
+* *ls*: Lists all notes
+* *help*: Displays the help text.
+* *rm*: Deletes the specified note
