+## Moving Window
+
+A helper for building scopes that deal with moving windows.
+
+## Usage
+
+```ruby
+require 'moving_window'
+
+class Review < ActiveRecord::Base
+  scope :recent, MovingWindow.scope { 6.months.ago }
+end
+
+Review.recent # Returns reviews from the last 6 months.
+```
+
+You can specify an end to the window with an array. The ordering does not matter:
+
+```ruby
+scope :a_while_ago, MovingWindow.scope { [3.months.ago, 6.months.ago] }
+```
+
+By default, `created_at` is used. If you want to specify a different column:
+
+```ruby
+scope :recently_published, MovingWindow.scope(:published_at) { 6.months.ago }
+```
+
+Dates in the future will also work.
+
+Note: There's no need to worry about invoking the scope with a lambda. The timestamps will be re-evaluated on each call.
+
+## Manual Invocation
+
+You'll find that `.scope` won't work outside of an active record model. Invoke things manually instead:
+
+```ruby
+window = MovingWindow.new { 6.months.ago }
+window.filter(Review, :published_at)
+```
+
+Arel is fully supported:
+
+```ruby
+window.filter(Review.published).limit(5)
+```
+
