+## Why?
+
+There are not many theming solutions for Nix. Those that already exist are
+either too convoluted, or straight up bad in terms of code quality or/and
+execution. This leads me to use (and recommend) home-baked theming modules for
+in-home usage, but there was not a good Base16 solution on Nix. Basix aims to
+solve this issue by providing you an auto-updated collection of Base16 and
+Base24 color palettes. As opposed to traditional hacks needed to convert YAML to
+JSON and then read it, you can simply consume attribute sets derived from JSON
+schemes while Basix does the heavy lifting for you.
+
+Basix might come in handy in scenarios you wish to theme individual applications
+from a pre-defined color palette.
