 # decal - a simple calendar with caldav events
 
+This is a calendar app which tries to bring something new to the functionality of GNU project's `cal` tool. It allows one to use the CalDAV protocol to sync and create events (and, potentially, tasks) and view them as if it was GNU's `cal` but with colorcoded events.
+
+# State of the project
+
+This project is currently very WIP, the todo list is:
+
+- [ ] Basic decal functionality (receiving events and showing a tagged calendar)
+- [ ] Event details
+- [ ] Creating events
+- [ ] Modifying events
+- [ ] Task lists
+- [ ] Task lists as calendar tags (maybe?)
+- [ ] Creating, modifying, removing, completing tasks
+- [ ] JSON export
+
 # Dependencies
 ```
 pip install caldav
