+## Motivation
+
+I've been a long-time user of Cliphist. You can probably tell by the number of
+times it has been mentioned in the README, if not for the attributions section,
+that Stash is _clearly_ inspired and adapted from it. It's actually a great
+clipboard manager if your needs are simple, but mine aren't. I need an
+**all-in-one** solution, that I can freely hack on, with simple solutions to
+complex problems that I've had with managing my clipboard. I wanted it to be
+scriptable _and_ interactive, I wanted it to be performant, I wanted it to be...
+
+You get the point. Perhaps you also share similar needs, or just like Rust
+software in general on your desktop. In either case, Stash hopes to serve as an
+excellent clipboard manager for your needs, with _excellent_ performance.

+Secondly, but by no means less importantly, I would like to thank
+[cliphist](https://github.com/sentriz/cliphist) for the excellent reference it
