+========
+
+`paroxysm` is a bot for [internet relay chat
+(IRC)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Relay_Chat) that lets you store
+small pieces of information, called *factoids*, and retrieve them later. It's
+useful for organising frequently-used information to avoid repeating oneself in
+a busy chatroom, as well as making little todo lists or notes to self in a
+private chatroom.
+
+It was directly inspired by the
+[LearnDB](https://github.com/crawl/sequell/blob/master/docs/learndb.md)
+functionality offered in `##crawl` on chat.freenode.net, and uses similar
+syntax.
+
+## Usage instructions
+
+Will come soon; the project is very much still in beta, and is subject to
+change.
