+# Discord.Net
+A .Net API Wrapper for the Discord client (http://discordapp.com).
+
+## This is an alpha build!
+The Discord API is still in active development, meaning this library may break at any time without notice.
+Discord.Net is also in early development so several functions may be unstable or not work at all.
+
+# Features
+- Login/Logout (account or anonymous)
+- Accepting Invites (standard or human readable)
+- Deleting Invites
+- Receiving/Sending Messages
+- Creating/Destroying Servers
+- Creating/Destroying Channels
+- Several Discord Events
+
+# Upcoming
+- Modifying User/Channel/Server Settings
+- Creating Invites
+- Kick/Ban/Unban/Mute/Unmute/Deafen/Undeafen
+- Sending Private Messages
+
+# Example (Echo Client)
+```
+var client = new DiscordClient();
+client.MessageCreated += (s, e) =>
+{
+	client.SendMessage(e.Message.ChannelId, e.Message.Text);
+};
+await client.Connect("discordtest@email.com", "Password123");
+await client.AcceptInvite("channel-invite-code");
+```
+
+# Remarks
+
+Due to current Discord restrictions, the client is unable to private message users unless both they and the client's account are members of the same server.
