+Servant Purescript
+==================
+
+[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/eskimor/servant-purescript.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/eskimor/servant-purescript)
+
+Generate typed PureScript query functions for your servant-api. Find an example, including
+the generated code in [examples/central-counter](https://github.com/eskimor/servant-purescript/tree/master/examples/central-counter).
+
+## Features
+
+ - Typed serialization/deserialization taken care of by Haskell's aeson and PureScript's argonaut.
+   Generic encoding/decoding of both made compatible by not yet merged
+   [pull request](https://github.com/purescript-contrib/purescript-argonaut-codecs/pull/12).
+ - You can put common parameters like Auth tokens and the base URL in a reader monad so you don't
+   have to pass them explicitly. This is configurable in the code generator with `readerParams` in `Settings`.
+
+## Status
+
+It works!
+
+Documentation is yet to come, but there is a usage example in examples/central-counter
+which also employs a very early version of servant-subscriber
+used for counter live updates.
+The PureScript side of servant-subscriber is very low-level and will
+change significantly in the future.
+
+For type translations purescript-bridge is used.
+
+I now have to take care of my actual project, which makes use of servant-purescript,
+improvements and documentation will follow on the way!
