 The mission of `fastplotlib` is to leverage new graphics APIs and modern GPU hardware to create fast and interactive scientific visualizations using an expressive and elegant API.
 
+`fastplotlib` aims to provide a library that allows for the following:
+- Rapid prototyping and algorithm development
+- Realtime analysis and visualization 
+- Efficient rendering of thousands of objects 
+- Compatibility with lazy-loading and lazy-compute objects
+- Shipping dependent packages as a distributable (ex: PyInstaller)
+
+Ultimately, `fastplotlib` is, and will always be, a free and open-source project that belongs to the community. Our end goal is to aid in the advancement of science, and as a result, we will guide the project in a direction that best serves our community in achieving this purpose.
