+# Handy
+[![Pipeline status](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libhandy/badges/master/build.svg)](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libhandy/commits/master)
+[![Code coverage](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libhandy/badges/master/coverage.svg)](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libhandy/commits/master)
+
+The aim of the Handy library is to help with developing UI for mobile devices
+using GTK/GNOME.
+
+## License
+
+libhandy is licensed under the LGPL-2.1+.
+
+## Build dependencies
+
+To build libhandy you need to first install the build-deps defined by [the debian/control file](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libhandy/blob/master/debian/control#L6).
+
+If you are running a Debian based distribution, you can easily install all those the dependencies making use of the following command
+
+```sh
+sudo apt-get build-dep .
+```
+
+## Building
+
+We use the Meson (and thereby Ninja) build system for libhandy. The quickest
+way to get going is to do the following:
+
+```sh
+meson . _build
+ninja -C _build
+ninja -C _build install
+```
+
+For build options see [meson_options.txt](./meson_options.txt). E.g. to enable documentation:
+
+```sh
+meson . _build -Dgtk_doc=true
+ninja -C _build libhandy-doc
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+There's a C example:
+
+```sh
+_build/examples/example
+```
+
+and one in Python. When running from the built source tree it
+needs several environment variables so use \_build/run to set them:
+
+```sh
+_build/run examples/example.py
+```
+
+### Glade
+
+To be able to use Handy's widgets in the glade interface designer without
+installing the library use:
+
+```sh
+_build/run glade
+```
+
+## Documentation
+
+The documentation can be found online
+[here](https://gnome.pages.gitlab.gnome.org/libhandy).
