+# Packages
+
+This folder contains packages written for and used by Ghostty that could
+potentially be useful for other projects. These are in-tree with Ghostty
+because I don't want to maintain them as separate projects (i.e. get
+dedicated issues, PRs, etc.). If you want to use them, you can copy and
+paste them into your project.
