+*Radicle Heartwood Protocol & Stack*
+
+Heartwood is the third iteration of the Radicle Protocol, a powerful
+peer-to-peer code collaboration and publishing stack. The repository contains a
+full implementation of Heartwood, complete with a user-friendly command-line
+interface (`rad`) and network daemon (`radicle-node`).
+
+[Radicle][homepage] is a secure, decentralized and powerful alternative to
+centralized code forges such as GitHub and GitLab that preserves user
+sovereignty and freedom.
+
+See the [Protocol Guide][guides-protocol] for an in-depth description of how
+Radicle works.
+
+For more information about [installing][install] and [running][run] Radicle, how
+to contribute, and licensing, please refer to the [main `README.md` of the
+repository][readme].
+
+## Radicle on GitHub
+
+Please note that GitHub is not the forge that Radicle is being developed with.
+Radicle is developed using Radicle. Therefore, issues cannot be created on
+GitHub, but only via Radicle directly. However, pull requests are still
+accepted.
+
+To view existing issues and patches with your web browser, navigate to
+[app.radicle.xyz][heartwood].
+
+To contribute issues and patches, please consider [installing][install]
+Radicle and follow our [guides][guides].
+
