+# clisparkline
+
+Sparklines are tiny charts to visually present data, like so: `_▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█`
+
+`clisparklines` is a tiny haskell library to print sparklines on the CLI.
+
+##### Example program
+
+```hs
+import System.Console.Sparkline
+main = putStrLn . series2spark $ [0, 1, 2, 3, 2, 1]
+```
+
+##### Output
+
