+# Contributing to Map
+
+Contributions are welcome! If you find this app helpful and would like to
+help, please read on.
+
+## Why does this app exist?
+
+I use wardley maps for many things, and I find that most diagram apps
+are cumbersome to use for this, and pen and paper is hard to share.
+
+I created this app inspired by graphviz, hoping to create a language
+that allows for the easy creation, modification and sharing of wardley maps.
+
+### What kind of contributions are welcome?
+
+Any improvements on the existing features, and bugfixes are welcome.
+
+If you would like to add a new feature, please add an issue
+before submitting code, so we can discuss; also, feel free to fork!
