This project is yet another example of a thing someone built to solve some problem, but .... that someone didn't bother to explain just what the problem is, or why this solution is preferred over the other possible solutions. A readme that describes only how to install a project, or the commands to type, is not sufficient. Every readme should start with a description of what the thing does, and why doing it this way is better.
