+# Kemoverse - Fediverse Gacha Bot
+
+A Python-based gacha-style bot for the Fediverse that interfaces with either Misskey or Pleroma instances.
+
+## Project Overview
+- **Language**: Python 3.11+
+- **Framework**: Flask for web interface
+- **Database**: SQLite
+- **Fediverse Support**: Configurable for Misskey or Pleroma instances
+- **API Integration**: Uses Misskey.py library for Fediverse API communication
+
+## Key Components
+- `bot/` - Core bot functionality including gacha mechanics, character management, and API interactions
+- `web/` - Flask web application for user interface and card management
+- `db.py` - Database utilities and schema management
+- `config.ini` - Instance configuration (API keys, instance URL, admin users)
+
+## Configuration
+The bot is configured via `config.ini` to connect to either a Misskey or Pleroma Fediverse instance. Key settings include:
+- Instance URL and API credentials
+- Bot user account details
+- Administrator user permissions
+- Database location
+
+## Development Commands
+- Install dependencies: `pip install -r requirements.txt`
+- Run bot: `python dev_runner.py`
+- Start web interface: `python web/app.py`
+
+## Testing
+Run tests with appropriate Python testing framework (check for pytest, unittest, or similar in project).
