+# KnarLib
+
+KnarLib is my own library for reducing repeated code. As I've created several plugins, I find myself copying code from
+one plugin to the next. As I tend to find better ways to do things over time, some plugins have an improved version of
+the same code. Instead of updating the same feature for all plugins, I found it better to create a shared library.

+## License
