+Notes should be easy to use and secure. We can manually encrypt a 
+notefile quite easily with GnuPG and that is fine for a few files. But 
+eventually we all collect many note files. Some notes are related to 
+others and we decide to reorganize them by placing them in directories. 
+To keep things simple we have a relatively flat heirachy of directories 
+with the main notes directory (~/.notes) only having a single layer of 
+directories beneath it, each corresponding to a notebook (You wouldn't 
+have a notebook inside a notebook would you?).
+
+Then we decide we need to keep them secure, particularly if we use 
+network backups. So wee look into encryption and find many options with 
+some being more secure than others. We probably choose the popular GnuPG 
+to encrypt the files as there are many sources for help and 
+documentation. Our encrypted notes build and we seem to have a lot. 
+
+Then we find out that our GPG private key is nearly expired. Remind me 
+why didn't I use the .gpg endign on my encrypted files? How many 
+encrypted files do I need to decrypt and then encrypt again with my new 
+key?
+
+This is the scenario for which I wrote Notes. It consists of two 
+commands: one to manage notebooks and one to manage notes. 
+
+Notes handles all the encryption relatively transparently to the user. 
+It can repace the encryption key easily on all of your encypted notes by 
+just entering a one line command. It supports resident GPG keys for 
+Yubikeys and PIV cards [We recommend that for resident Yubikeys you 
+enable pin support and disable touch for the encryption key as the 
+button touch cannot be temporarily cached unlike the pin #. This will 
+save you having to touch the Yubikey for each enryption].
+
+Keeping your notes inside Notes shouldn't be restrictive or 
+obscure/proprietary. Each note is simply a text file created with your 
+default text editor and then encrypted with GPG. This means that you can 
+use standad Unix shell commands to manage these notes if you need to for 
+file management, backups and even decryption. But to make it easier we 
+provide two commands. The 'notes' command handles everything to do with 
+notes and the 'notebook' command everything to do with notebooks. 
+
+Notes handles any unsecure files by shredding the file before deletion 
+ensuring that the unencrypted file is not accessible. You can even view 
+the note without creating an unencrypted version.
+
+The two commands are but a single small shell script that identifies 
+what you are trying to do by which command you call it by.
+
+With version 1.0 we have yet to implement git functionality. But for now 
+you could just run git inside the ~/.notes directory for managing via 
+git. We hope to add more functionality in future releases and welcome 
+contributions.
