+# GoWeb 🌐
+
+GoWeb is a simple Go web framework that aims to only use the standard library. The overall file structure and
+development flow is inspired by larger frameworks like Laravel. It is partially ready for smaller projects if you are
+fine with getting your hands dirty, but I plan on having it ready to go for more serious projects when it hits version
+2.0.
+
+<hr>
+
+## Current features 🚀
+
+- Routing/controllers
+- Templating
+- Simple database migration system
+- CSRF protection
+- Minimal user login/registration + sessions
+- Config file handling
+- Entire website compiles into a single binary (~10mb) (excluding env.json)
+- Minimal dependencies (just standard library, postgres driver, and experimental package for bcrypt)
+
+<hr>
+
+## When to use 🙂
+
+- You need to build a dynamic web application with persistent data
+- You need to build a dynamic website using Go and need a good starting point
+- You need to build an API in Go and don't know where to start
+- Pretty much any use-case where you would use Laravel, Django, or Flask
+
+## When not to use 🙃
+
+- You need a static website (see [Hugo](https://gohugo.io/))
+- You need a simple blog (see [Hugo](https://gohugo.io/))
+- You need a simple site for your projects' documentation (see [Hugo](https://gohugo.io/))
+
+## How to use 🤔
+
+1. Clone
+2. Run `go get` to install dependencies
+3. Copy env_example.json to env.json and fill in the values
+4. Run `go run main.go` to start the server
+5. Start building your app!
+
+## How to contribute 👨‍💻
