+firefly-iii
+===========
+
+Firefly Mark III is a new version of Firefly built upon best practices and lessons learned 
+from building Firefly. It's Mark III since the original Firefly never made it outside of my
+laptop.
+
+### Changes
+
+Firefly III will feature:
+
+- Double-entry bookkeeping system;
+- Better budgeting tools;
+- Better financial reporting;
+- More control over other resources outside of personal finance
+  - Accounts shared with a partner (household accounts)
+  - Debts
+  - Credit cards
+- More robust code base (mainly for my own peace of mind);
+- More test-coverage (aka: actual test coverage);
