+Blueprint helps you build user interfaces in GTK quickly and declaratively.
+It has modern IDE features like code completion and hover documentation, and
+the compiler points out mistakes early on so you can focus on making your app
+look amazing.
+
+Features
+--------
+
+- **Easy setup.** A porting tool is available to help port your projects from
+  XML. The compiler's only dependency is Python, and it can be included as
+  a meson subproject. :doc:`See the Setup page for more information. <setup>`
+- **Concise syntax.** No more clumsy XML! Blueprint is designed from the ground
+  up to match GTK's widget model, including templates, child types, signal
+  handlers, and menus.
+- **Easy to learn.** The syntax should be very familiar to most people. Scroll
+  through the :doc:`examples page <examples>` for a quick overview of the whole
+  language.
+- **Modern tooling.** IDE integration for `GNOME Builder <https://developer.gnome.org/documentation/introduction/builder.html>`_
+  is in progress, and a VS Code extension is also planned.
