+Welcome to Drift!
+=================
+
+Drift is an always-already versioned, cloud-backed text editor. You can use it to take notes, and save them in the GitHub cloud.
+
+Your gists are always saved locally, and any changes you make will get pushed to GitHub's servers.
+
+To name a gist, *touch its name* in the toolbar.
+
+You can use the *share* button at the top-right to copy a link to one of your gists, or view it on the web in Safari.
+
+You can navigate between your gists, sign in as someone else, or search for other github users' gists with the *Gists* button at the top left.
+
+When you're viewing someone else's gist, you can *fork* it to edit as one of your own, and your friends can see when you've forked their gists.
+
+Try it out!
