+A collaborative end-to-end-encrypted meta-filesystem.
+## What?
+  * Collaborative: allows users to work together with unique Ed25519 keys per user.
+  * End-to-end-encrypted: All identifiable (except permissions (which isn't identifiable) and users/groups) information, including the file content and filename,
+    is encrypted.
+  * Meta-filesystem: Use your existing filesystem
+## How?
+This is written in Go with FUSE, a userspace filesystem library.
