+## Features
+
+- **Search & download** — search the network, pick results in the TUI, and
+  queue downloads with pause, resume, and retry
+- **Sharing** — point `--shared-dir` at a directory and your files show up in
+  searches; peers can browse and download them
+- **Browse** — list any user's shared files and download straight from the tree
+- **Chat rooms** — list, join, and talk in public rooms, several open at once
+- **Private messages** — send and receive messages, with an inbox in the TUI
+- **Firewalled peers** — downloads and browsing fall back to server-brokered
+  connections when a peer can't be reached directly
+- **Automatic port mapping** — opens your listen port via UPnP-IGD and
+  NAT-PMP, with a `portmap` subcommand to test your router
+- **TUI and CLI** — a full terminal interface, plus scriptable subcommands
+  (`search`, `message`, `browse`, `rooms`, `chat`, `portmap`)
+- **Zero-dependency library** — the protocol crate uses only the Rust
+  standard library, down to its own zlib inflate and md5
