+## What am I looking at? 🤔
+
+This repository is our *monorepo* holding [all our NPM packages](https://freesewing.dev/reference/packages/).
+
+## Get involved with FreeSewing v3 🚀
+
+Check out [out v3 roadmap](https://github.com/freesewing/freesewing/discussions/1278) to
+see what we've planning. And we are open to ideas/suggestions for what you would like to
+see in our mext major release.
+
+## Getting started ⚡
+
+As this is a monorepo. You'll need [lerna](https://lerna.js.org/) and [yarn](https://yarnpkg.com/) on your system.
+Once you have those, clone (or fork) this repo and run `yarn kickstart`:
+
+```bash
+git clone git@github.com:freesewing/freesewing.git
+cd freesewing
+yarn kickstart
+```
+
+## About FreeSewing 💀
+
+Where the world of makers and developers collide, that's where you'll find FreeSewing.
+
+If you're a maker, checkout [freesewing.org](https://freesewing.org/) where you can generate
+our sewing patterns adapted to your measurements.
+
+If you're a developer, our documentation is on [freesewing.dev](https://freesewing.dev/).
+Our [core library](https://freesewing.dev/reference/api/) is a *batteries-included* toolbox
+for parametric design of sewing patterns. But we also provide a range
+of [plugins](https://freesewing.dev/reference/plugins/) that further extend the
+functionality of the platform.
+
+If you have NodeJS installed, you can try it right now by running:
+
+```bash
+npx create-freesewing-pattern
+```
+
+Or, consult our getting started guides
+for [Linux](https://freesewing.dev/tutorials/getting-started-linux/),
+[MacOS](https://freesewing.dev/tutorials/getting-started-mac/),
+or [Windows](https://freesewing.dev/tutorials/getting-started-windows/).
+
+We also have a [pattern design tutorial](https://freesewing.dev/tutorials/pattern-design/) that
+walks you through your first parametric design,
+and [a friendly community](https://freesewing.org/community/where/) with
+people who can help you when you get stuck.
+
