+![Ruffle logo](ruffle.svg)
+
+[Ruffle] is an open-source Flash Player emulator, written in Rust. It aims to run
+natively on all modern operating systems and web browsers, leveraging Rust's
+memory safety guarentees to avoid the security pitfalls that Flash became
+notorious for in its later years.
+
+Many of today's game developers got their start developing
+in Flash, and Ruffle aims to help preserve this part of internet (and
+gaming!) history for future generations to look back on.
+
+For a look back at the history of Flash gaming, and the influence it has has
+on games today, check out [Flash Game History].
