 A simple tool for visualising OSPF network topology as seen by BIRD
 ====
 
-This is a tool to visualize current state of the OSPF network and compare it to
-a reference / expected state.
+<!-- My gitea cannot do README in ReST, so we write it in Markdown. -->
+
+Birdvisu is a library and a graphical app to visualize routing topologies of
+OSPF. It does not implement OSPF on its own, but rather exports current state
+from [BIRD](https://bird.network.cz/) – that's where the name comes from.
+
+The main use case is comparing a reference topology (e.g. a known good one) to
+the current state. This allows Birdvisu to show failed links and other
+anomailes in the network.
+
+Also, this is the project for my Bachelor thesis.

 ## Installation
@@ -11,3 +22,12 @@ Run `pip install -e .`. You can use a virtualenv if you wish (recommended).
 
 A demo is located in `./poor_mans_visualisation.py`, if that runs, everything
 should be working.

+## Documentation
+
+Documentation is built using [Sphinx](https://www.sphinx-doc.org/) by running `make` in the `docs/` directory.

+I have not decided yet, so please ask for terms if you want to use this in some
