+## a local web browser
 
-A *bulleted* list:

-- item 3
+apus (from _Gigantochloa apus_: the most common bamboo on the island of Java) is a local web browser.
+It will parse and display HTML, Markdown, epub, and potentially other XML-based file formats.
+It will not connect to the internet, and instead only parse local files given to it on the command line or eventually uploaded in a user interface.
+Hopefully nobody outside of this class will use it because it will be a standards-failing web browser written in Java Swing.
 
-An example of text with **bold** and *italic* fonts.

+This project is of interest to me because I enjoy writing parsers and have been meaning to play around with text and image rendering.
+I've heard that Java Swing has a native HTML rendering component. I hope to entirely disregard this, and instead reimplement it poorly.

+## user stories

+- As a user, I want to open and render an HTML file.
+- As a user, I want to be able to add a new tab to a list of open tabs.
+- As a user, I want to be able to click links on a rendered webpage and view the linked pages.
+- As a user, I want to be able to apply basic styling to an open page.
