+# Carta Straccia is a RSS feed aggregator
+
+Written in D using [sumtype](https://code.dlang.org/packages/sumtype),
+[pegged](https://code.dlang.org/packages/pegged),
+[dxml](https://code.dlang.org/packages/dxml),
+[htmld](https://code.dlang.org/packages/htmld) and [Vibe.d](https://vibed.org).
+
+## Features
+
+* Linux only (yep, it's a feature)
+* Server/client architecture with simple CLI parameters
+* Multi-tasking using Vibe.d's Tasks and the message passing model to
+  concurrently process multiple feeds
+* **Single-file feeds configuration**, with separate, per-feed refresh interval
+* Multiple endpoints support: Display the aggregated news in HTML, from the
+  command line (WIP) or edit `source/cartastraccia/endpoints.d` to add your
+  desired visualization
+
+## Installation
+
+Requires [Dub](https://github.com/dlang/dub):
+
+1. clone this repo:
+```
+git clone https://github.com/gallafrancesco/cartastraccia.git
+```
+2. build:
+```
+dub build
+```
+
+You'll find the `cartastraccia` executable in the root project directory.
+
+## Usage
+
+CLI options and sample first usage:
+```
+cartastraccia --help
+```
+
+For feeds configuration, see the sample `feeds.conf` file included.
