3DS Homebrew Application Framework
+---
+(Pardon the dust, both the library and this readme are still a work in progress)
+
+## What is this?
+libstarlight is a fully-featured application framework for 3DS homebrew written in C++14.
+
+Features include:
+* Fully themable UI framework with rich widgets designed for the 3DS's touchscreen
+* Underlying graphics framework built on citro3d, using premultiplied alpha blending
+
(textures automatically converted on load)
+* Streamlined, easy-to-use onscreen keyboard
+* Centralized configuration system for application-specific settings and storage, complete with optional auto-saving on exit
+* Filesystem helpers to streamline working with SD and romfs contents
+* Various basic datatypes for convenience and interoperability
+
+Please keep in mind that while libstarlight is still in beta (pre-1.0.0) not everything is final. Expect occasional (usually minor) breaking changes as things settle.
+
+## Requirements
+libstarlight requires devkitARM r46 or later, along with:
+* reasonably up-to-date libctru
+* citro3d
+
+Additionally, libstarlight contains versions of the following bundled within:
+* [lodepng](https://github.com/lvandeve/lodepng)
+* [nlohmann::json (JSON For Modern C++)](https://github.com/nlohmann/json)
+
+## Okay, so how do I use this?
+(section WIP, take a look at the testbed for a somewhat messy example)
+
+To ensure your application runs properly without themes installed to the SD card, it is recommended to include a copy of the default theme (or any theme with no fallback) at `romfs:/.fallback_theme`.
