+      Wyrd is a text-based front-end to Remind, a sophisticated
+      calendar and alarm program. Remind's power lies in its
+      programmability, and Wyrd does not hide this capability behind
+      flashy GUI dialogs. Rather, Wyrd is designed to make you more
+      efficient at editing your reminder files directly.
