+easybits
+========
+
+This documentation explains how to use the functions provided
+in the `easybits` package. `easybits` is distributed via pypi,
+so you can install it using pip or poetry.
+
+Every file on your computer is just a sequence of bits. Every message
+that gets sent between computers is just a sequence of bits. Working
+directly with bits is easy in lower-level languages, but a bit trickier
+in Python. `easybits` exposes the bit representations of booleans,
+integers, and text, so that you can see--and manipulate--the bits
+underneath the values you already know how to use.
+
+This documentation is organized according to a common pattern: the
+:ref:`introduction` contains narrative documentation walking you through
+how to use the system. The :ref:`api` contains a complete description of
+each function and how to use it. If you're trying to learn what `easybits`
+can do, start with the :ref:`introduction`. If you're trying to check a
+detail about how to do it, head to the :ref:`api`.
+
+`easybits` is part of the `Making With Code` introductory computer science
+curriculum, with an intended audience of beginners. It is used in the
+`Encoding lab <https://makingwithcode.org/courses/mwc2/unit2/lab_encoding/>`_.
+If you are interested in `Making With Code`, or if you found `easybits`
+helpful, `Dr. Chris Proctor <https://chrisproctor.net>`_ would love to hear
+from you.
