 # ipam
+A cli based [IP Address Management](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_address_management)
+built with [Go](https://go.dev/) using [Cobra](https://cobra.dev/) and
+[Viper](https://github.com/spf13/viper) with optional [PowerDNS](https://www.powerdns.com/auth.html)
+API integration.
 
-This project is in development. There is no working version yet!
+## Features
+`ipam` is a cli based IPAM. It supports:
+- Adding, listing, viewing and deleting subnets
+- Adding, viewing and deleting single IP addresses with FQDNs
+- automatic addition and deletion of forward and reverse records
+- import and export configuration
+
+## But why?
+In my career as a Network Engineer I worked at a company that developed their own internal CMDB
+that was set up as a cli application. I really liked the ease of use and the way you could
+quickly do stuff.
+
+So I sat down and started my first Go project and started developing this ipam.
+
+## How do I use the cmdb?
+Coming soon
+
+## How can I contribute to the development?
+Patches, bug reports or feature suggestions can be sent by email to
+[~lauralani/ipam@lists.sr.ht](mailto:~lauralani/ipam@lists.sr.ht). If you're
+not familiar with sending patches over email see
