+# Dis.ml - An OCaml wrapper for the Discord API
+
+This is a library for creating bots on [Discord](https://discordapp.com/). Dis.ml uses JaneStreet's Async and Core libs and I highly recommend having a solid understanding of both of these before using this library.
+
+## State of the project
+This is being actively developed and is definitely still in the early stages. While you definitely could create a bot with this in its current state, you would be writing a lot of boilerplate still.
+
+#### What is implemented?
+* The full Discord REST API
+* Rudimentary gateway support
+* Automatic sharding
+* Event dispatch to a user-defined consumer
+
+#### What is not implemented?
+* Abstractions for Discord Objects (Message, Guild, Channel, etc)
+* Automatic reconnection of dropped gateway connections
+* Voice
+* Cache
+
+## Getting started
+In order to get started you'll first need to install OCaml (of course). I recommend using OPAM and Dune as a package manage and build tool respectively.
+
+I currently don't provide an opam build file nor is the project uploaded to opam. This will happen with the first stable release.
+
+You'll find an example bot in /bin directory. \ No newline at end of file
