+## Why build this?
+
+I couldn't find an approriate gem or javascript library that did exactly what I wanted. So I decided to scratch my own itch to solve a problem for a startup I'm working on: https://www.littlefutures.org
## Development
After checking out the repo, run `bin/setup` to install dependencies. Then, run `rake test` to run the tests. You can also run `bin/console` for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
