+### best-blog
+
+This is Andromeda's personal blog. It's served with [my webserver](https://git.mtgmonkey.net/Andromeda/best-blog.git) and is heavily inspired by [BMfW](http://bettermotherfuckingwebsite.com).
+
+## build
+
+# Try it out:
+
+`nix run git+https://git.mtgmonkey.net/Andromeda/best-blog.git`
+
+# Copy locally:
+
+`git clone https://git.mtgmonkey.net/Andromeda/best-blog.git`
+`cd best-blog`
+`nix build`
+`./result/bin/best-blog`
+
+## usage
+
+`best-blog` currently has no options and always starts on port 9345, panicking if the port is unavailable.
+
+## contributing
+
+This repo is for personal use; if I someday make it into a blog engine, contributions will be welcome, but for now, that would be weird.
