+# GoBlog
+
+Hello!
+
+This repository contains the code for GoBlog, my own blogging system. I created it because I was tired of all the workarounds to customize Hugo and other blog systems to my needs.
+
+The goals of GoBlog are:
+
+- Minimalism
+- Flexibility
+- (IndieWeb)
+
+Documentation on how to use GoBlog yourself will follow soon.
