+#+TITLE: README for Reading-Heap
+
+* Reading-Heap
+
+Reading-Heap: a service and clients for managing your media consumption order.
+
+* Description
+
+** What is Reading-Heap?
+
+Reading-Heap is a reference service and client to manage a "media heap". The basic concept is you put your media, along with a priority, on the heap and the service will calculate which one you should consume next.
+
+** What sets Reading-Heap apart?
+
+Reading-Heap is implemented as a service, so any zmq-enabled language can write a client for it. You can add an article from your phone via a web service, grab the details into your wayland clipboard from the command line, and maybe one day file it into your org-mode agenda buffer via a (upcoming) emacs client.
