 Introduction
 ------------
 
-Blah blah
+Stylet is a small but powerful ViewModel-first MVVM framework for WPF, which allows you to write maintainable and extensible code in a way which is easy to test.
+Stylet's aims to:
+
+ - Solve the blockers, niggles, and annoyances which hamper MVVM development without a framework using simple but powerful concepts.
+ - Be obvious to people picking up your project for the first time: there's very little magic
+ - Be easy to verify/validate. The LOC count is low, and it comes with a very comprehensive test suite. The code is well-written and well-documented.
+ - Be flexible while providing sensible defaults. Almost any part of the framework can be overridden if you wish, but you probably won't want to.
+
+
+It is inspired by [Caliburn.Micro](http://www.caliburnproject.org/), and shares many of its concepts, but removes most of the magic (replacing it with more powerful alternatives), and simplifies parts considerably by targeting only MVVM, WPF and .NET 4.5.
