 # try-bedazzled
 
-**A scratch-directory manager that's been dragged through a rainbow.** ✨🌈
+**A modern, themeable scratch-directory manager inspired by [tobi/try-cli](https://github.com/tobi/try-cli).**
 
-A Go rewrite of [tobi/try-cli](https://github.com/tobi/try-cli) using [Charmbracelet](https://charm.sh) —
-the same dated-throwaway-folder workflow, now with shifting cursor hues, rainbow fuzzy hits,
-gradient row highlights, and a theme picker that lets you turn the sparkle up to 11 (or all the way
-down to a calm monochrome — every preference welcome). 🦄
