+### Installation from source code
+Installing from source can be useful to try out unreleased Readeck versions, or to set up a development environment for contributing code. For more information, see the [development documentation](https://readeck.org/en/docs/dev).
-Thanks go to these wonderful people for their contributions:
+### Installation for production
-[](https://github.com/Kovah/LinkAce/graphs/contributors)
+If you already know how to deploy containers on a server, installing Readeck for production should be quite straightforward. As for deploying to Linux servers with systemd and NGINX reverse proxy, see the [deployment guide](https://readeck.org/en/docs/deploy).
+## FAQ
-
+Please refer to the [FAQ on readeck.org](https://readeck.org/en/docs/faq).
+## Under the hood
-LinkAce is a project by [Kevin Woblick](https://woblick.dev) and [Contributors](https://github.com/Kovah/LinkAce/graphs/contributors)
+Readeck was born out of frustration (and COVID lock-downs) from the tools that don't save everything related to the saved content, primarily images.
+This key principle guided every step of Readeck development.
+
+### The ZIP file
+
+Every bookmark is stored in a single, immutable, ZIP file. Parts of this file (HTML content, images, etc.) are directly served by the application or converted to a web page or an e-book when needed.
+
+### A simple database
+
+Readeck has a very simple database schema with a few tables (and a bit of clever JSON fields here and there). The recommended database engine is SQLite for most installations.
+
+### A simple stack
+
+Unlike many modern web applications, Readeck is not a single page application built on top of an API with impossible to install dependencies and a mess of background processes.
+
+Readeck is written in [Go](https://go.dev/) and all its content is rendered server side with some interactivity brought by [Stimulus](https://stimulus.hotwired.dev/) and [Turbo](https://turbo.hotwired.dev/).
+
+This has proven to be a great combination when performance really matters.
+
+### Contributing
+
+Readeck's simple stack means that the barrier to entry is relatively low when it comes to contributing to the Readeck project. Contributions are welcome by filing issues, participating in community discussions, submitting translations, and proposing changes to the source code. For more information, see the [documentation on contributing](https://readeck.org/en/contribute).
