-# go-date
-Native type for dealing with dates in Go
+# `go-date`
+
+[![GoDoc][1]][2]
+[![Go ReportCard][3]][4]
+
+The `go-date` package provides a dedicated `Date{}` struct to emulate the
+standard library `time.Time{}` behavior.
+
+## API
+
+This package provides helpers for:
+
+- conversion: `ToTime()`, `date.FromTime()`, `date.FromString()`
+- serialization: JSON and SQL
+- emulating `time.Time{}`: `After()`, `Before()`, `Sub()`, etc.
+- explicit null handling: `NullDate{}` and an analog of `sql.NullTime{}`
+- emulating `time` helpers: `Today()` as an analog of `time.Now()`
+
+## Background
+
+The Go standard library contains no native type for dates without times.
+Instead, common convention is to use a `time.Time{}` with only the year, month,
+and day set. For example, this convention is followed when a timestamp of the
+form YYYY-MM-DD is parsed via `time.Parse(time.DateOnly, s)`.
+
+## Alternatives
+
+This package is intended to be simple to understand and only needs to cover
+"modern" dates (i.e. dates between 1900 and 2100). As a result, the core
+`Date{}` struct directly exposes the year, month, and day as fields.
+
+There are several alternative date packages which cover wider date ranges.
+(These packages all use the [proleptic Gregorian calendar][6] to cover the
+historical date ranges.) Some existing packages:
+
+- `github.com/fxtlabs/date` [package][7]
+- `github.com/rickb777/date` [package][5]
