+# Dusty Marble - RPNAB Invoicing Portal
 
-Functional & test-driven invoicing system
\ No newline at end of file
+This is a Rust-based single-page web application for Rent & Petroleum Nordic AB, designed to streamline internal operations and provide customers with access to their invoice documents.
+
+## 🎯 Project Goal
+
+The primary goal is to make invoicing more efficient by:
+- Allowing internal users to upload structured transaction lists (CSV)
+- Converting those transactions into a format suitable for invoice attachments
+- Giving customers secure access to view/download their invoices
+
+The application will include both a web UI and a command-line interface for administrative tasks.
