+sklad
+=====
+
+'sklad' is a simple personal warehouse management system or, let's rather say,
+"stuff management system", employing a web UI for easy mobile access from
+a smartphone.  The templates are currently localised only in the Czech language.
+
+The project also contains reusable Go packages with a Brother QL-series USB
+printer driver and a simple BDF bitmap font renderer, as well as a few related
+utilities for previewing, printing and debugging.
+
+Building and Running
+--------------------
+Build dependencies: Go +
+Runtime dependencies: Linux, a Brother QL label printer connected over USB
+
+ $ go get -u https://janouch.name/sklad/cmd/sklad
+
+You will need to bootstrap the database by writing a minimal 'db.json':
+....
+{
+	"Password": "login-password",
+	"Prefix": "A",
+	"BDPPath": "font.bdf",
+	"BDFScale": 3
+}
+....
+
+Decent Unicode fonts in the BDF format can be obtained from
+https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs-fonts.html
+though they will need some upscaling because of the printer's high DPI.
+
+After placing the templates and the BDF font file in the current working
+directory, run the application as follows:
+
+ $ sklad :8000 db.json
