+# A tiny GNU/Linux distribution
+Matterlinux is a tiny [free/libre](https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html) and 
+[open source](https://opensource.com/resources/what-open-source) GNU/Linux distribution. 
+It has its own package management system and its own package repos. All source code for 
+Matterlinux is licensed under GPLv3 and avaliable on 
+[Matterlinux Git Server](https://git.matterlinux.xyz/matterlinux).
+
+## Goals & Status 
+The project aims to create a tiny and simple yet still usable GNU/Linux system from the 
+scratch. So the project is not based on any other distribution, nor it's package ecosystem.
+
+Currently matterlinux is under development, here is a rough roadmap if you want to 
+follow the development of the project:
+
+- [+] Package system 
+- [+] Website 
+- [>] Offical repos (`base` and `desktop`) 
+- [x] Wiki/documentation
+- [x] First release
+
+## Contributing
+Currently active contributers are:
+
+- (Maintainer) [ngn](mailto:ngn13proton@proton.me)
+
+Consider helping out if you are interested in this project.
+To do so, join [matterlinux@conference.jabbers.one](xmpp:matterlinux@conference.jabbers.one?join) 
+to request an account for the the git server. You can also send an email to the maintainer.

+Because of the package manager and the server stuff,
+the development of the website has been delayed a bit,
+but finally after few lines of Go later, 
+[here it is!](https://git.matterlinux.xyz/matterlinux/website)
+
+This website will be used to post news about Matterlinux's 
+development and updates.
+
+## Details 
+As I mentioned the webserver is written in Go, with the Fiber framework. 
+The content on the website is managed by editing JSON and markdown files,
+these files then get parsed into HTML with the [blackfriday libary](https://github.com/russross/blackfriday/tree/v2). Which then gets rendered with Go's HTML template engine.
+
+And finally the HTML is styled with some simple CSS to let you read this post
+without hurting your eyes.
+
+By the way the website itself does not contain any JavaScript, 
+nor pulls anything from external CDNs.
+
+## What is next?
+Now that the project has a proper website, next thing to do would be 
+to start working on package repos. This may take a while but I think 
+Matterlinux may be actualy *bootable* by the end of the year. Probably 
+won't have an release though, considering there may be bunch of issues with 
+the package management system, that will be fixed along the way.
+
+And oh! I need to write an entire wiki- god damn it.
+
+I guess that's all for now, see you in another post.
