## Summary
The summary should answer the question **"What superpower does this app give me?"**. It doesn't need to
comprehensively describe everything the app does, as long as it highlights one important aspect and makes it
clear why it's valuable.

+## Screenshots
+
+General guidance:
+- Provide multiple screenshots showing off the main areas of the app
+- Show off the app with realistic and good-looking example content
+- Update screenshots when the app UI changes
+- Use GNOME system defaults (stylesheet, font, icons, window decorations, etc.)
+
+Avoid:
+- Using a non-standard system stylesheet or icons
+- Using non-standard window decorations (e.g. minimize/maximize enabled)

+## README
+
+## Repository Icon
+
+The Gitlab repository icon should be the regular app icon with a baked-in shadow. We have plans to add a way
to automatically export a PNG with a baked-in shadow from App Icon Preview for this purpose.
