+# Personal API
+
+Make a secured web API that stores and serves up your own personal and professional data!
+As of the current commit, it's oriented towards powering freelancers' websites.
+
+## Installation
+
+Fork the project, then do `pipenv install`.
+
+Set three config vars in your `.bashrc` etc.:
+
+```
+PERSONAL_API_USERNAME
+PERSONAL_API_PASS
+PERSONAL_API_SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URL
+```
+
+`PERSONAL_API_SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URL` should be for a postgres instance somewhere, in the format
+
+`postgresql://{username}:{password}@{host}:{port}/{db_name}`
+
+## Using Locally
+
+Start the server with `uvicorn app.main:app`, then create, get, delete, and update records at will.
+
+## Deployment
+
+See "Using Locally", but point it at whatever web server you're using.
+
+## Tables
+
+As of today the available endpoints are
+
+```
