 ## Status
 
-Very early pre-alpha; user interface mostly works (enough to demonstrate), back end is hardly started.
+Very beta quality code. It mostly works, but it isn't polished.
 
 ## What is it supposed to do?
 
-To understand what I'm aiming for, read [this essay](http://blog.journeyman.cc/2016/10/preparing-for-next-independence.html). Design documentation, such as there is of it yet, is in the *dummy* sub-directory. Also look at [src/clj/youyesyet/db/schema.clj](https://github.com/simon-brooke/youyesyet/blob/master/src/clj/youyesyet/db/schema.clj).
