+		<h1>What is GEX</h1>
+
+		<p>
+			GEX is a general purpose input/output device that attaches to a PC or laptop.
+			The module, controlled by a Python or C program running on the host PC, provides easy
+			access to on-chip peripherals and low level functions implemented by the firmware.
+		</p>
+
+		<p>
+			The platform is designed for quick hardware prototyping, tinkering, automation, and measurements.
+			In addition to custom hardware, the firmware can run on STM32 development boards,
+			which makes it accessible to everyone. Even better, a version for the eBay-popular
+			STM32F103 Bluepill board is planned.
+		</p>

+
+		<p>
+			You can try GEX right now, perhaps with one of the pre-built firmware images, but keep in mind
+			that it is still under development and despite having version 1.0.0, it is closer to
+			beta than a stable release. In particular, the API may change in backward-incompatible ways
+			(obviously accompanied by a minor version bump).
