+# cl-matrix
+This was the start of my attempt at a [Matrix](https://matrix.org) client-library for Common Lisp.
+There’s nothing to see here, I’m just posting my old dead-end repos because I’m a hoarder.
+
+A [much more complete library](https://gitlab.com/Gnuxie/cl-matrix) by Gnuxie began as a fork of this project.
+
+Check it out!
