+# Angel
+An easily-extensible web server framework in Dart.
+
+[Documentation](https://github.com/angel-dart/angel/wiki)
+
+# About
+
+I come from Node development, usually with Express and FeathersJS. When I started learning
+Dart, I fell in love with it and the huge potential it has on the client-side. But I did
+feel that server-side was lacking.
+
+The goal of Angel is to present a server environment navigable to JavaScript pilgrims,
+but also powerful enough to build robust JSON API's in little time. Another focus is to
+make Angel extremely extensible, and thus most of the most common business logic is
+shipped as its own separate Angel plugin.
+
+In my opinion, it makes no sense that today's frontend tools have no real sense of
+integration with backend tools, at least in JavaScript, where there are a trillion
+of each. With the right server framework in Dart, we can build full-stack apps that
+breathe and function as one single body, rather than as two segregated, monolithic units.
+
+Tally ho!
+
+# Development
+The base of Angel is just about done, but it still needs more
+unit tests before it is ready for production.
+
+If you'd like to contribute, feel free to read the docs (as well
+as though generated by dartdoc), and then clone the repo. I plan to eventually
+integrate Angel with Travis, so we can merge pull requests faster.
+
+# Thanks for using Angel
+
+Thank you for using this library. I hope you like it. I have put months of effort
+into Angel.
