+# Yet Another RSS Reader (YARR) :pirate_flag:
 
 ## Overview
 
+In a never-ending DIY quest, I've put together this RSS feed reader to keep up with the news. The main requirement
+observed here is to _not_ require any sort of backend (except for a serverless proxy to get around CORS) and to keep it
+all as simple as possible.
+

+
+The reader allows the user to provide RSS feed URLs that should be pulled, settings and fetched results are cached using
+[browser local storage](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/localStorage) if it's available. The
+results caching is also used to prevent refetches on load if the cache is fresh enough.
+
+The whole thing runs on [Netlify](https://www.netlify.com/)'s generous free tier.
+
+Feel free to use it for your own RSS needs and to [drop a word or
+two](https://github.com/mcataford/rss-reader/discussions/10) if you do. :tada:
+
+## Contributing
+
+The project welcomes contributions as long as they fit within the general roadmap, which is still TBD. Any contribution
+making the bundle smaller will be eagerly reviewed and celebrated as long as it preserves functionality.
