+## Hi there 🥬
+
+We are the minish lab 🍄! Welcome to our github page. We're a two-person ([@pringled](https://github.com/Pringled) and [@stephantul](https://github.com/stephantul)) open-source research lab, with a focus on Natural Language Processing. 
+Our goal is to provide with usable and fun tools to make working with language data easy and fun.
+
+* We like fast things, so we focus on small models. 
+* We like "classical" nlp and machine learning, so no LLM interfaces here. 
+* We like cpu-bound work, not everyone has access to GPUs or wants to pay big tech companies for using GPUs.
+* We try to be as multi-lingual as possible: NLP work tends to focus purely on English, to the detriment of other languages.
+* We write in Python, and use a pretty opinionated stack (uv, everything fully typed, everything fully documented, no exceptions).
+* We try to be inclusive: if you'd like to help out, please let us know 🤗.
+
+### Main goals
+
+We aim to make software that is:
+* Easy to use ⛓️
+* Fun to use 🥳
+* Opinionated 🤔
+* Open for integration 🧲
+* Does not re-invent the wheel 🤸
+* Fast 🚴
+
+In short, this means we make software packages that do one thing well, and that let you do that specific thing, and integrate it into a use of your choosing.
+We're not going to try and tell you what to do, we'll just show you what you can do, and we'll hope you have fun doing it.
