+Python implementation of Earthstar
+##################################
+
+**WARNING!**
+
+This library is very limited in functionality, and is under active development.  Be prepared for
+things to break.
+
+Usage
+=====
+
+Create an identity and save it as a mnemonic:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+   from earthsnake import Identity
+
+   identity = Identity('test')
+   mnemonic = identity.mnemonic
+
+Then you can load it back from the mnemonic:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+   identity = Identity.from_mnemonic(mnemonic)
+
+Development
+===========
+
+Type checking:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+   env MYPYPATH=mypy-stubs poetry run mypy --strict earthsnake tests
+
+Static linting:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+   poetry run pylint earthsnake tests
+
+Tests:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+   poetry run pytest -vv --cov=. tests
