+
+## Why bootstack?
+
+Most Python desktop frameworks make you fight the framework. bootstack gets out of the way.
+
+- **30% less code** — the declarative, context-manager layout eliminates geometry calls, explicit parenting, and most of the wiring boilerplate
+- **Reads like Python** — nested `with` blocks mirror your UI structure; the code hierarchy *is* the layout
+- **Modern layout system** — `HStack`, `VStack`, and `Grid` containers handle spacing, alignment, and fill automatically; CSS conventions (`gap`, `padding`, `margin`, `fill`, `anchor`) without writing CSS
+- **60+ widgets out of the box** — primitives through full composites: tables, trees, calendars, date pickers, gauges, sliders, and more — including a full `CodeEditor` with syntax highlighting, line numbers, bracket matching, smart indent, and search; no external editor dependency required
+- **Reactive signals** — observable state that flows between widgets; bind once, update everywhere
+- **Event and stream pipelines** — compose, filter, debounce, and throttle UI events with a chainable stream API
+- **Built-in icons** — the full Bootstrap Icons catalog, theme-aware and DPI-scaled, bundled with the framework
+- **Built-in localization** — 23 language catalogs, locale-aware number/date/time formatting, runtime language switching
+- **Semantic styling** — `accent="primary"`, `variant="outline"` — no hard-coded colors; looks right across every theme automatically
+- **8 paired light/dark themes** — with a runtime switcher and a custom-theme API
+- **Forms and validation** — field-level validators, inline error messages, and a `FormDialog` for quick modal forms
+- **DataSource abstraction** — one interface over SQLite, in-memory, and file backends with filtering, sorting, pagination, and CRUD
+- **A real CLI** — scaffold, run, add pages/views/dialogs/themes, and package for distribution
+- **PyInstaller packaging built in** — `bootstack build` produces a standalone executable; no separate toolchain required
+
+## Installation
+
+Requires Python 3.12+ and Tk/Tcl (bundled with most Python distributions).
+bootstack is in pre-release, so opt in with `--pre`:
+
+```bash
+python -m pip install --pre bootstack
+```
+
+See the [installation guide](https://bootstack.org/getting-started/installation/)
+for platform-specific Tk setup and the optional data-format extras.
+
+## See it
+
+The widget gallery is a single-window tour of everything bootstack ships — every widget, theme switcher, accent variants, and layout containers. Fastest way to see the framework in action without writing a line of code:
+
+```bash
+bootstack gallery
+```

+
+## Quick Start
+
+```python
+import bootstack as bs
+
+with bs.App(title="Hello", padding=16, gap=16) as app:
+    bs.Label("Hello from bootstack!")
+    bs.Button("Primary", accent="primary")
+    bs.Button("Success", accent="success")
+    bs.Button("Danger Outline", accent="danger", variant="outline")
+
+app.run()
+```
+
+<picture>
+  <source media="(prefers-color-scheme: dark)"  srcset="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/israel-dryer/bootstack/main/assets/readme/ex-quickstart-dark.png">
+  <source media="(prefers-color-scheme: light)" srcset="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/israel-dryer/bootstack/main/assets/readme/ex-quickstart-light.png">
+  <img alt="bootstack quick start example" src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/israel-dryer/bootstack/main/assets/readme/ex-quickstart-light.png">
+</picture>
+
+For navigation-based apps, use `AppShell` — it gives you a command bar, sidebar, and page stack in one call:
+
+```python
+import bootstack as bs
+
+shell = bs.AppShell(title="My App", size=(1000, 650))
+
+with shell.add_page("home", text="Home", icon="house"):
+    bs.Label("Welcome!")
+
+with shell.add_page("docs", text="Documents", icon="file-earmark-text"):
+    bs.Label("Your documents.")
+
+shell.run()
+```
+
+## How it works
+
+### Layout containers
+
+`VStack`, `HStack`, and `Grid` let you describe a layout once instead of repeating geometry calls on each child:
+
+```python
+with bs.App(title="Sign In") as app:
+    with bs.Grid(columns=["auto", 1], gap=(12, 6), sticky_items="ew", padding=16):
+        bs.Label("Name:")
+        bs.TextField(placeholder="Full name")
+        bs.Label("Email:")
+        bs.TextField(placeholder="email@example.com")
+        bs.Label("Role:")
+        bs.Select(options=["Admin", "User", "Viewer"], value="User")
+        bs.Button("Submit", accent="primary", columnspan=2)
+
+app.run()
+```
+

+  <source media="(prefers-color-scheme: light)" srcset="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/israel-dryer/bootstack/main/assets/readme/ex-layout-light.png">
+  <img alt="bootstack layout containers example" src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/israel-dryer/bootstack/main/assets/readme/ex-layout-light.png">
+</picture>
+
+### Semantic styling
+
+Widgets take an `accent` (color intent) and `variant` (visual weight) instead of hard-coded colors, so the same code looks right across themes and light/dark modes:
+
+```python
+bs.Button("Save", accent="primary")
+bs.Button("Cancel", accent="secondary", variant="outline")
+bs.Label("Heading", font="heading-lg")
+```
+
+<picture>
+  <source media="(prefers-color-scheme: dark)"  srcset="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/israel-dryer/bootstack/main/assets/readme/ex-semantic-styling-dark.png">
+  <source media="(prefers-color-scheme: light)" srcset="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/israel-dryer/bootstack/main/assets/readme/ex-semantic-styling-light.png">
+  <img alt="bootstack semantic styling example" src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/israel-dryer/bootstack/main/assets/readme/ex-semantic-styling-light.png">
+</picture>
+
+### Signals (optional)
+
+Plain callbacks work fine for most things. When state needs to flow between widgets, signals give you a small reactive primitive with two-way binding:
+
+```python
+with bs.App(title="Hello") as app:
+    name = bs.Signal("World")
+    bs.Label(textsignal=name)      # updates automatically when name changes
+    bs.TextField(textsignal=name)  # two-way binding to the same state
+
+app.run()
+```
+
+## Features
+
+- **Application scaffolding** — `App` for blank windows, `AppShell` for command-bar + sidebar + page-stack apps, undecorated windows with custom chrome
+- **60+ themed widgets** — primitives plus higher-level composites (DataTable, Tree, ListView, Calendar, DateField, Form, Gauge, ToggleGroup, PageStack, Carousel, Tooltip, and more)
+- **Dialogs and messages** — `alert()` / `confirm()` / `ask_*()` prompts and `FormDialog` / `FontDialog` / `FilterDialog`, plus non-blocking `toast()`, `Notification`, and `Snackbar` surfaces
+- **Layout containers** — `VStack`, `HStack`, and `Grid` for declarative layouts; `Card`, `GroupBox`, `ScrollView`, `SplitView`, `Accordion`, `Expander`
+- **Design system** — semantic `accent` colors (primary, secondary, success, danger, warning, info) and `variant` tokens (solid, outline, ghost), consistent across widgets
+- **Built-in themes** — paired light/dark variants (amber, aurora, bootstrap, classic, docs, forest, ocean, rose) with runtime theme switching and a custom-theme API
+- **Reactive signals** — observable state with subscribe/set, integrates with widgets via `signal=` / `textsignal=`
+- **Forms & validation** — `Form` with built-in field-level validators and inline error messages
+- **DataSource** — common interface over in-memory, SQLite, and file backends, with pagination, filtering, sorting, CRUD, and CSV/TSV/Excel export
+- **Localization (i18n)** — 23 bundled message catalogs, locale-aware number/date/time formatting via Babel, runtime language switching
+- **Icons & images** — Bootstrap Icons catalog with theme-aware recoloring, DPI scaling, and caching
+- **Platform support** — DPI awareness, multi-monitor centering, mica/acrylic effects on Windows
+- **CLI (`bootstack`)** — project scaffolding, run, add components, theme/i18n setup, doctor, build/package

+## CLI
+
+bootstack ships with an optional CLI for scaffolding, running, and packaging applications:
+
+```bash
+bootstack gallery                           # Launch the interactive widget gallery
+bootstack icons                             # Browse the built-in icon catalog
+bootstack start MyApp                       # Create a new project (basic template)
+bootstack start MyApp --template appshell   # ...or with sidebar navigation
+bootstack run                               # Run the app defined in the project config
+bootstack add page Dashboard                # Add a new page (appshell)
+bootstack add view Settings                 # Add a new view (basic)
+bootstack add dialog Preferences            # Add a new dialog
+bootstack add i18n --languages en es fr     # Add i18n support
+bootstack doctor                            # Diagnose project & environment
