+# Power Console
+
+This is a simple power-management applet for Linux, written in C++ and FLTK.
+
+It supports changing power profiles, reporting battery status, turning on
+and off conservation mode for batteries, and indicating whether the AC adapter
+is plugged in.
+
+Since a lot of more bare-bones desktops and window managers lack power
+management niceties, I decided to write this little gadget.
+
+The paths to various things are hardcoded for my laptop's specific setup and
+such.
+
+TODO: I want to add support for dynamic things like
+
+ - Choosing the colors and their thresholds
+ - Specifying what your system's special configuration files are
+ - Slider to control brightness
+ - Some power profiles support (within the applet as well as integration with
+   what is in the linux system binary `powerprofilesctl`)
+
+This code is licened under the AGPL vesrion 3.0, only.
