 1 | memoir is intended to be a minimal cli diary.
 2 | 
 3 | Usage:
 4 | Run memoir by typing 'm' into a terminal.
 5 | Type out your memoir, and it will write the entry to '~/.memoir' and exit as soon as an empty line is encountered.
 6 | If the first line is empty, it wont write the entry.
 7 | You can also send a SIGINT to exit the program without side effects.
 8 | 
 9 | Alternatively, you can run 'm' with any number of arguments.
10 | Once you run 'm' with the arguments, it will automatically add a one line entry to '~/.memoir'.
11 | 
12 | Format of '~/.memoir':
13 | date
14 | entry
15 | Entries are seperated by a line of dashes.
16 | 
17 | Dependencies:
18 | python3
