Subject: [PATCH] Add a README.md because of Sourcehut

Sourcehut doesn't support org-mode README files, so I made a markdown version.

+1.  [Installation](#orgd5b246c)
+2.  [Usage](#org4c0bef7)
+
+This package provides support for the [ddate](https://github.com/bo0ts/ddate) command.
+
+
+<a id="orgd5b246c"></a>
+
+# Installation
+
+This package is now available on [MELPA](https://melpa.org/), so you can install it by adding MELPA to your list of
+packages and then using `use-package` like this:
+
+    (require 'package)
+    (add-to-list 'package-archives '("melpa" . "https://melpa.org/packages/") t)
+    (package-initialize)
+    
+    (use-package ddate
+      :ensure t)
+
+You can also install this package directly from this repository via `use-package` and
+[`quelpa-use-package`](https://github.com/quelpa/quelpa-use-package). 
+
+    (use-package ddate
+      :ensure-system-package ddate
+      :quelpa (ddate :fetcher git :url "https://git.sr.ht/~earneson/emacs-ddate"))
+
+
+<a id="org4c0bef7"></a>
+
+# Usage
+
+Use the `ddate` and `ddate-pretty` functions to do fun things.
+
+I like to use it with [dashboard](https://github.com/emacs-dashboard/emacs-dashboard) like this:
+
+    (defun ela/dashboard-insert-ddate (list-size)
+      "Insert the Discordian date into the dashboard."
+      (let ((ddate-string (ddate-pretty)))
+        (dashboard-center-line ddate-string)
+        (insert ddate-string)))
+    
+    (use-package dashboard
+      :init (dashboard-setup-startup-hook)
+      :config
+      ;; Add the ddate item provider to the list.
+      (add-to-list 'dashboard-item-generators
+                   '(ddate . ela/dashboard-insert-ddate))
+    
+      ;; Set up your items with ddate at the top.
+      (setq dashboard-items '((ddate)
+                              (recents   . 5)
+                              (bookmarks . 5)
+                              (registers . 5))))
