+
+This is small [Sinatra](http://www.sinatrarb.com/) app for managing a set
+of [monit](http://mmonit.com/) checks on remote web sites.
+
+It allows you specify the URL you want to monitor, text that should be on the page,
+how many failure cycles are required for to report as the site being down, and an email
+address to send the alert to.
+
+There is a very basic web interface that allows to to create and edit which sites you're
+monitoring and reports on the status of the sites you're monitoring.
+
