+# Hanabi League
+This is the code for the Hanabi League running on [hanab.live](https://hanab.live).
+
+The goal is to automatically collect the played games and evaluate ELO and all sorts of statistics from it,
+as well as generate a pleasing website from that data.
+
+This is a full rewrite of what has been done in season zero (which was the test season), featuring:
+- A proper database server, PostgreSQL
+- More statistics to come (for example, bottom deck risks)
+- Separate ELO ratings for each variant, player number and suit count
+- ...
+
+This is still work in progress.
