+# Fuse Core
+
+**A lightweight Jekyll theme for single-page personal websites.**
+
+This [Jekyll](https://jekyllrb.com/) theme is for you if you need a personal website that simply
+summarizes the links to your social media profiles and external content. It is:
+
+- *responsive* - adapts to all screen sizes
+- *mobile-friendly*
+- *lightweight* - no JavaScript (except for Google Analytics, if enabled)
+- *easy to configure* - no HTML knowledge required, just change *_config.yml*
+- *fast* - All third party components loaded via their CDN (with
+  [subresource integrity](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Security/Subresource_Integrity)),
+  so most resources are already cached from visits to other websites.
+- Optional Google Analytics supported, with IP anonymization and cookie consent popup
+  (optional, but these things are helpful to comply with EU data protection laws).
+  You'll need a Google Analytics account, of course, and set it up correctly first.
+
+## License
+
+The *Fuse Core* theme is free software under the terms of the
+[CC-BY-4.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) license.
+
+## Ancestry
+
+The visual design for this theme is taken from the
+[front-cover](https://github.com/dashingcode/front-cover) theme by [Dashingcode](https://github.com/dashingcode).
+Big thank you, it looks awesome!
+
+However, the *Fuse Core* theme is a complete reimplementation, which makes it very different on the inside.
+There are many improvements big and small over front-cover, making *Fuse Core* a kind of "Front Cover 2.0" or
+"Front Cover Plus":
+
+- Ability to show "featured" links in a separate row of icons. Featured link icons optionally have captions and
+  may point anywhere. They also have their own icons chosen from all of Font Awesome's solid icons.
+- Use of Bootstrap for responsive design. This gives us supreme browser compatibility and ease of maintenance,
+  because a myriad of problems are already handled by the folks at Bootstrap.
+- Up-to-date libraries, especially Font Awesome 5.
+- Support for [Google Analytics ](https://analytics.google.com/analytics/web/), including some legal details
+  such as IP anonymization and cookie consent popup (all optional).
+- Search engine control via configurable meta tags
+- Responsive sticky footer
+
