 Project Stability: Alpha
+
+This project is a passion project, as such excuse the atypical setup for everything. 
+If you have ideas on how to improve things, please open an issue, comment on existing
+issues or hit me up in a private message somewhere. I want route to be the easiest
+possible way to host services of all sizes.
+
+Constraints I am putting on myself right now:
+- Use Go as much as possible and where it makes sense use other tools
+- Create solutions using experience from the "old way" of doing things to categorically eliminate problems
+- Make solutions robust and fault-tolerant wherever possible as soon as possible
+- Don't waste resources if you don't have to
+- Always clean things up eventually
+- If you have to fail, fail loudly
