## 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.

has provided to me as a "solid clipboard manager." The interface of Stash is
inspired by Cliphist, and it has served me very well for a very long time.
Additional and definitely heartfelt thanks to my testers, who have tested
earlier versions of Stash, helped with packaging and provided feedback. Thank
you :)
