+## Why PyGMT
+
+A beautiful map is worth a thousand words. To experience the power of PyGMT, try it
+online with [Binder or Google Colab](https://github.com/GenericMappingTools/try-gmt)
+without installing anything on your computer.
+
+For a quick introduction, check out our [3-minute overview](https://youtu.be/4iPnITXrxVU).
+Afterward, try the [Intro to PyGMT](intro/index.rst) tutorial on your own, explore the
+[Gallery](gallery/index.rst) for inspiration, follow the [Tutorials](tutorials/index.rst)
+to learn more, explore available map [Projections](projections/index.rst), and finally
+check out some [external PyGMT examples](external_resources).

+
+## Project goals
+
+From the beginning, the project has aimed to achieve the following goals:
+
+- Make GMT more accessible to new users.
+- Build a Pythonic API for GMT.
+- Interface with the GMT C API directly using ctypes (no system calls).
+- Support rich display in the Jupyter notebook.
+- Integrate with the [scientific Python ecosystem](https://scientific-python.org/):
+  `numpy.ndarray` or `pandas.DataFrame` for data tables, `xarray.DataArray` for grids,
+  and `geopandas.GeoDataFrame` for geographical data.
