+The Elite Dangerous API Service. Basically just a tiny program that turns information from Elite Dangerous' journal
+files into an API with websocket support. This program doesn't do anything on its own, but it allows other software to
+access information about your game over the network.
+
+EDAS was built as a warm-up to EDIS, the Elite Dangerous Informational System. Kinda like my own version of EDCoPilot.
+This is the backend system that will provide game data to EDIS.
+
+### Usage
+
+To use this, download the [Latest Release](https://git.bigduckie.dev/big-duckie/go-opds-pse/releases) and run it via
+terminal.
+
+```shell
+edas
+```
+
+### Building
+
+To build this you'll want the latest version of Go. Doesn't use any external libraries.
+
+### FAQs
+
+- Why Go?
+
+Well, Go is just very memory efficient. It's also one of my favourite languages. Yes, I could have written this as a
+plugin for EDMC, and perhaps in the future I'll add similar features to this for EDSM, EDDB and Inara. Maybe even a
+plugin system too. It's never a bad thing to offer alternatives to one program.
+
+- Is there a built-in UI for this?
+
+No. Not yet anyway. This first iteration is a pure cli program for offering an API for other programs to read from. I
+do think I'll be building a desktop UI for this, similar to how EDCoPilot has a separate executable for the GUI. This
+would allow you to have multiple UIs open at once.
