+A new main menu for Minetest, rewritten completely from scratch.
+
+Features so far:
+* An art style.
+* More intuitive layout.
+* The Lua API documentation is embedded in the About tab.
+* The Lua API documentation gets syntax highlighting.
+* A full dynamic templating engine that allows games to customize their corner of the main menu in almost any way imaginable.
+
+To try this main menu, clone this repository and modify the paths in `local assets` and `function include` to properly reflect the location you cloned into. Then, set the main_menu_script setting in Minetest to point to `init.lua` and restart Minetest.
