+# Fawkss — The CSS preprocessor for people who dislike CSS preprocessors [![MIT License][license-svg]][license-url]
+
+Fawkss [fɔːks] is a simple CSS preprocessor built as a single AWK (nawk/gawk/mawk) script. Syntactically, it borrows as much as possible from the SASS language, for convenience and familiarity.
+
+This is more of a fun project than a production-ready piece of software, though it may find some use for people needing simple additions to CSS without pulling in the massive ecosystem that comes with Less.js/SASS etc.
+
+## Status
+
+Currently, the following features are implemented:
+
+  * C99/C++-style comments (.i.e. `// This is a comment`)
+  * Variables
+
+A full test-suite is provided (depending only on Bash and AWK), which should serve as a good example of the existing feature-set.
+
+## Roadmap
+
+It is intended that the script never balloons to more than ~1000 lines of code. I'm trying to tackle the most important features yet and see how well they fit within the AWK mindset.
+
+That being said, I do not plan to implement any context-sensitive functionality (such as nesting etc.), which may be nigh-impossible in AWK anyways. Consider it a feature.
+
+## Are you kidding me?
+
+Nope. I wouldn't suggest you actually use this for anything, though.
