 # `chorus`: Email-based comments
 
-To install dependencies:
+This is a system for adding comments to arbitrary sites like a blog. Rather than requiring users to have an account
+with your blog or a 3rd-party comments platform, it uses email.
 
-```bash
-bun install
-```
+## Features
 
-To run:
+- Works with any mail server that supports arbitrary mailbox aliases (e.g. `user+alias@example.com`)
+- Writes out comments as static JSON files so they can be served by your webserver of choice
+- Handles arbitrarily deep replies to comments
+- Threads generate UUIDs and don't need to pre-register with Chorus
+- **WIP** DKIM verification for incoming mail
+- Optionally, only include comments that have been moderated/approved by the admin
 
-```bash
-bun run index.ts
-```
+## Principles
 
-This project was created using `bun init` in bun v1.1.42. [Bun](https://bun.sh) is a fast all-in-one JavaScript runtime.
+1. Email, as a federated and decentralized communication protocol, is good.
+2. Independent blogs and websites that do not rely on a large 3rd-party platform are good.
+3. Users should not have to create an account with every individual website to participate in a discussion thread.
+4. Individual threads should not have to pre-register with the comment server.
+
+## How It Works
+
+
+
+## Configuration
+
+Configuration is handled via environment variables:
+
+- `CHORUS_IMAP_HOST`
+- `CHORUS_IMAP_PORT` 993
+- `CHORUS_IMAP_USER`
+- `CHORUS_IMAP_PASS`
+- `CHORUS_THREAD_TEMPLATE`
+- `CHORUS_DATA_DIR` chorus-data
+- `CHORUS_MAILBOX`
