+## KISSY Interface for Sapphic Smooching over ttY
+
+Ever wanted to kiss girls through a tty? Well now you can!
+
+### Installation:
+- download kissy from the releases page and place it in the system's path
+- run `sudo chown :tty /path/to/kissy` (or whatever group it's supposed to be)
+- run `sudo chmod 2755 /path/to/kissy` (or whatever permissions work for you. has to run with setgid)
+
+### Usage:
+`kissy [target] <message>`
+
+You can kiss any user in the local system who is logged in and has messages enabled. Currently only works on pts, so SSH and terminal emulators.
+
+You can also kiss *remotely* with `ssh user@host kissy [target] <message>`. This requires kissy to be set up in the remote host. Permissions thing. I don't make the rules.
+
+Have fun girlkissing! :3
