 Simple Note System
 ==================
 
-The Simple Note System is a shell script enabling easy management of plain-text
-notes. SNS depends on GPG for encryption and uses the vim editor by default.
+The Simple Note System is a shell script partially inspired by [pass], in that
+it stores notes as normal, plaintext, files in normal folders. It uses the
+environment-specified editor, and can be configured to use GPG encryption.
 
-        usage: sns [-ce] NAME NOTEBOOK SECTION"
-            sns [-d ] NAME NOTEBOOK SECTION"
-            sns [-lp] NOTEBOOK"
-            sns [-w ]"
-            sns [-h ]"
+SNS was originally conceived one morning during an update to a popular note-taking
+app. The thought occurred that a note system need not reinvent the wheel with
+its own GUI editor and proprietary file format, but instead could use the tools
+already provided by the operating system.
 
-        -c | --create : Create note"
-        -d | --delete : Delete note"
-        -e | --edit   : Open note for editing"
-        -h | --help   : Display this message"
-        -p | --print  : Print note to console"
-        -l | --list   : List all notes in NOTEBOOK"
-        -i | --init   : Write default config and initalize SNS store"
+As it developed, OpenSSL encryption was dropped in favor of GPG, and the script
+was almost entirely rewritten as SNSv2.
