+
+**FlixOpt is a Python framework for optimizing energy and material flow systems** - from district heating networks to industrial production lines, from renewable energy portfolios to supply chain logistics.
+
+**Start simple, scale complex:** Build a working optimization model in minutes, then progressively add detail - multi-period investments, stochastic scenarios, custom constraints - without rewriting your code.
+
+---
+
+## 🚀 Quick Start
+
+```bash
+pip install flixopt
+```
+
+That's it! FlixOpt comes with the [HiGHS](https://highs.dev/) solver included. You're ready to optimize.
+
+**The basic workflow:**
+
+```python
+import flixopt as fx
+
+# 1. Define your system structure
+flow_system = fx.FlowSystem(timesteps)
+flow_system.add_elements(buses, components, effects)
+
+# 2. Create and solve
+calculation = fx.FullCalculation("MyModel", flow_system)
+calculation.solve()
+
+# 3. Analyze results
+calculation.results.solution
+```
+
+**Get started with real examples:**
+- 📚 [Full Documentation](https://flixopt.github.io/flixopt/latest/)
+- 💡 [Examples Gallery](https://flixopt.github.io/flixopt/latest/examples/) - Complete working examples from simple to complex
+- 🔧 [API Reference](https://flixopt.github.io/flixopt/latest/api-reference/)
+
+---
+
+## 🌟 Why FlixOpt?
+
+### Progressive Enhancement - Your Model Grows With You
+
+**Start simple:**
+```python
+# Basic single-period model
+flow_system = fx.FlowSystem(timesteps)
+boiler = fx.Boiler("Boiler", eta=0.9, ...)
+```
+
+**Add complexity incrementally:**
+- **Investment decisions** → Add `InvestParameters` to components
+- **Multi-period planning** → Add `periods` dimension to FlowSystem
+- **Uncertainty modeling** → Add `scenarios` dimension with probabilities
+- **Custom constraints** → Extend with native linopy syntax
+
+**No refactoring required.** Your component definitions stay the same - periods, scenarios, and features are added as dimensions and parameters.
+
+→ [Learn more about multi-period and stochastic modeling](https://flixopt.github.io/flixopt/latest/user-guide/mathematical-notation/dimensions/)
+
+### For Everyone
+
+- **Beginners:** High-level components that "just work"
+- **Experts:** Full access to modify models with linopy
+- **Researchers:** Quick prototyping with customization options
+- **Engineers:** Reliable, tested components without black boxes
+- **Students:** Clear, Pythonic interfaces for learning optimization
+
+### Key Features
+
+**Multi-criteria optimization:** Model costs, emissions, resource use - any custom metric. Optimize single objectives or use weighted combinations and ε-constraints.
+→ [Effects documentation](https://flixopt.github.io/flixopt/latest/user-guide/mathematical-notation/effects-penalty-objective/)
+
+**Performance at any scale:** Choose calculation modes without changing your model - Full, Segmented, or Aggregated (using [TSAM](https://github.com/FZJ-IEK3-VSA/tsam)).
+→ [Calculation modes](https://flixopt.github.io/flixopt/latest/api-reference/calculation/)
+
+**Built for reproducibility:** Self-contained NetCDF result files with complete model information. Load results months later - everything is preserved.
+→ [Results documentation](https://flixopt.github.io/flixopt/latest/api-reference/results/)
+
+**Flexible data operations:** Transform FlowSystems with xarray-style operations (`sel()`, `resample()`) for multi-stage optimization.
+
+---
+
+## 🎯 What is FlixOpt?
+
+### A General-Purpose Flow Optimization Framework
+
+FlixOpt models **any system involving flows and conversions:**
+
+- **Energy systems:** District heating/cooling, microgrids, renewable portfolios, sector coupling
+- **Material flows:** Supply chains, production lines, chemical processes
+- **Integrated systems:** Water-energy nexus, industrial symbiosis
+
+While energy systems are our primary focus, the same foundation applies universally. This enables coupling different system types within integrated models.
+
+### Modern Foundations
+
+Built on [linopy](https://github.com/PyPSA/linopy/) and [xarray](https://github.com/pydata/xarray), FlixOpt delivers **performance** and **transparency**. Full access to variables, constraints, and model structure. Extend anything with native linopy syntax.
+
+### Our Position
+
+We bridge the gap between high-level strategic models (like [FINE](https://github.com/FZJ-IEK3-VSA/FINE)) and low-level dispatch tools - similar to [PyPSA](https://docs.pypsa.org/latest/). FlixOpt is the sweet spot for detailed operational planning and long-term investment analysis in the **same framework**.
+
+### Academic Roots
+
+Originally developed at [TU Dresden](https://github.com/gewv-tu-dresden) for the SMARTBIOGRID project (funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy, FKZ: 03KB159B). FlixOpt evolved from the MATLAB-based flixOptMat framework while incorporating best practices from [oemof/solph](https://github.com/oemof/oemof-solph).
+
+---
+
+## 🛣️ Roadmap
+
+**FlixOpt aims to be the most accessible, flexible, and universal Python framework for energy and material flow optimization.** We believe optimization modeling should be approachable for beginners yet powerful for experts, minimizing context switching between different planning horizons.
+
+**Current focus:**
+- Enhanced component library (sector coupling, hydrogen, thermal networks)
+- Examples showcasing multi-period and stochastic modeling
+- Advanced result analysis and visualization
+
+**Future vision:**
+- Modeling to generate alternatives (MGA) for robust decision-making
+- Advanced stochastic optimization (two-stage, CVaR)
+- Community ecosystem of user-contributed components
+
+→ [Full roadmap and vision](https://flixopt.github.io/flixopt/latest/roadmap/)
