Clarify what this project is about #56

Please add a sentence in the readme, what this tool is doing.

Is this an alternative for https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-appservice-irc?

If not, what is the difference?

What is the difference to a usual IRCd?

t3chguy commented 5 years ago

This is the inverse of matrix-appservice-irc almost.

With this project you connect to it with any standard IRC Client and then it connects to a Matrix server, letting you use an IRC Client to communicate with Matrix, whereas matrix-appservice-irc is primarily a way to use a Matrix client to communicate with IRC (though with it existing at the server level it goes both ways)

Ah ok, you should add that sentence to the README.md

PRs to improve the readme would be welcome! :)

I created a PR, but what do you mean by this sentence?
