+This is a small website providing a tracker for big fish in Final Fantasy XIV.
+
+It's built with [axum](https://lib.rs/axum), [maud](https://maud.lambda.xyz), and Postgres as a datastore.
+The data for fish is based on the data used in [Carbuncle Plushy's Fish Tracker](https://ff14fish.carbuncleplushy.com).
+
+## Todo
+
+Current major missing features include:
+
+- [ ] Fisher's Intution (catching other fish to spawn a big fish)
+- [ ] Spearfishing
+- [ ] Better condition display, show the weather, etc
+- [ ] Folklore requirement display
+- [ ] Ability to remove caught fish (un-catch them)
