+# Getting started
+
+Gathio is a simple, federated, privacy-first event hosting platform.
+
+You can use the publicly hosted, flagship instance of Gathio at
+[https://gath.io](https://gath.io), and you can also run your very own instance
+on your own server.
+
+These docs are here to:
+
+-   Explain the more esoteric or complex features of Gathio
+-   Help you set up, customize, and run Gathio on your own system
+
+## Documentation
+
+The docs are stored in the `docs/` folder in the Git repository and are built with [MkDocs](https://www.mkdocs.org/).
