+# libimagdiary
+
+This library crates implements a full diary.
+
+One can have one or more diaries in the store, each diary can have unlimited
+entries.
+
+## Future plans
+
+The diary should be able to provide _daily_, _hourly_ and even _minutely_
+diary entries, so one can use the diary as normal "Dear diary,
+today..."-diary, or more fine-grained and more like a journal.
+
+The internal file format as well as the store-path generation for this module is
+prepared for such functionality.
