 # eros-client
 
-This is a command line interface to the
-[eros library](https://github.com/pharpend/eros).
-
-# Usage - v.0.5.0.0
-
-This is a usage guide for version 0.5.0.0. There will be more up-to-date usage
-guides as more versions come, hopefully.
-
-To install, run `cabal install eros-client-0.5.0.0`.
-
-The only way to interact with the library, for the time being is through the
-client I built, `erosc`. It accepts input in Javascript Object Notation (JSON)
-through `stdin`.
-
-Here is the schema for the input:
-
-```json
-{
-  "name": "erosc-input",
-  "type": "object",
-  "description": "The schema for the input to erosc.",
-  "properties": {
-    "text": {
-      "type": "string",
-      "description": "The text you want to be checked against the phraselists.",
-      "required": true
-    },
-    "eros-lists": {
-      "type": "array",
-      "description": "The phraselists provided by eros you want \"text\" to be checked against.",
-      "required": true,
-      "items": {
-        "type": "string"
-      }
-    },
-    "options": {
-      "type": "object",
-      "description": "Extraneous options for erosc.",
-      "required": false,
-      "properties": {
-        "pretty": {
-          "type": "boolean",
-          "description": "Whether to pretty-print the output. Defaults to `true'.",
-          "required": false
-        },
-        "quiet": {
-          "type": "boolean",
-          "description": "Suppress output to stdout. Defauts to `false'.",
-          "required": false
-        },
-        "output-files": {
-          "type": "array",
-          "description": "A list of output file paths. Will overwrite existing files",
-          "required": false,
-          "items": {
-            "type": "string"
-          }
-        }
-      }
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-That is the up-to-date schema, as of version 0.5.0.0 . It is liable to
-change. If the version you downloaded is greater than 0.5.0.0, make sure to
-check the schema (it is distributed with the package) to make sure it is up to
-date. The schema is located in `res/schemata/erosc-input.json`.
-
-`erosc` will take that input, and send back output in JSON, in accordance with
-the schema found in `res/schemata/erosc-output.json`.
-
-```json
-{
-  "name": "erosc-output",
-  "type": "array",
-  "description": "The output of erosc.",
-  "items": {
-    "type": "object",
-    "description": "The phraselist name, along with the score for that phraselist.",
-    "properties": {
-      "eros-list": {
-        "type": "string",
-        "description": "The name of the phraselist corresponding to this object."
-      },
-      "score": {
-        "type": "number",
-        "description": "The score corresponding to this phraselist."
-      }
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-## Example
-
-This is the example input from `res/erosc-dummy-inputs/input0.json`.
-
-```json
-{
-  "text": "Fuck you, you fucking fuck! Fucking bitch tits milf sex sluts!",
-  "eros-lists": [
-    "gambling",
-    "pornography"
-  ]
-}
-```
-
-Running `erosc < res/erosc-dummy-inputs/input0.json` yields
-
-```json
-[
-  {
-    "score": 0,
-    "eros-list": "gambling"
-  },
-  {
-    "score": 11394,
-    "eros-list": "pornography"
-  }
-]
-```
-
-# Contributing
-
-I would love if people would contribute. This client is BSD-licensed, so you can
-pretty much do whatever you want with it.
-
-If you have any ideas, don't hesitate to contact me.
-
-## Planned features
-
-I need to add more filtering options, such as phraselist-specific thresholds,
-custom phraselists, and, well, just more stuff.
-
-# Contact
-
-The best way to contact me is via IRC. I hang out a lot on `#archlinux` and
-`#haskell` on the FreeNode network. My nicks are `l0cust` and `isomorpheous`.
-
-You can also email me at <pharpend2@gmail.com>, although I'm not great at
-checking that email address.
