+# bash notes
+
+### a simple note taking app written in bash
+
+I've found myself in need of a simple way to take notes, and since the other solutions available didn't meet my needs, I've decided to write my own app.
+
+It's a simple (enough) bash script, the only dependance (yet) is [jq](https://stedolan.github.io/jq/).
+
+here's all the functions that I'm planning to implement:
+
+```bash
+-h | --help			: This help text
+-p | --plain			: Output is in plain text (without this option the output is colored)
+-l | --list			: List existing notes
+-a | --add <title>		: Add new note
+-m | --modify <note> 		: Modify note
+-d | --date <note> 		: Modify date for note
+-r | --remove <note>		: Remove note
+-v | --version			: Print version
+--userconf			: Export User config file
+```
+
+not all functionalities are present at the moment
