+Mirko, the HSWAW microservice helper library
+============================================
+
+Wanna write a Go microservice for HSWAW? Can't be arsed to copy paste code? This is the library for you!
+
+Usage (dev)
+-----------
+
+    package main
+
+    import (
+        "code.hackerspace.pl/q3k/mirko"
+    )
+
+    func main() {
+        m := mirko.New()
+
+        // setup/checks before TCP ports are opened...
+        // ...
+
+        if err := m.Listen(); err != nil {
+            glog.Exitf("Listen(): %v", err)
+        }
+
+        // register your gRPC and http handlers...
+        // (relfection and basic debug http is automatically registered)
+        // pb.RegisterFooServer(m.GRPC(), s)
+        // m.HTTPMux().HandleFunc("/debug/foo", fooHandler)
+
+        if err := m.Serve(); err != nil {
+            glog.Exitf("Serve(): %v", err)
+        }
+
+        // start any other background processing...
+
+        select {}
+    }
+
+Usage (running)
+---------------
+
+The following flags are automatically registered:
+
+ - `-listen_address` (default: `127.0.0.1:42000`): where to listen for gRPC requests
+ - `-debug_address` (default: `127.0.0.1:42001`): where to listen for debug HTTP requests
+
+Since this library also includes [hspki](https://code.hackerspace.pl/q3k/hspki), you also get all the typical `-hspki_{...}` flags included.
+
+The following debug HTTP handlers are installed:
+
+ - `/debug/status`: show the [statusz](https://github.com/q3k/statusz) page
+ - `/debug/requests`: show the [net/trace](https://godoc.org/golang.org/x/net/trace) page (including gRPC traces)
