+
+`assixt`, or `App::Assixt`, is a Perl 6 module which I wrote in order to make
+it easier to write more Perl 6 modules. I also used it as a good project to get
+better with Perl 6 with. Nowadays, it's doing much more than I anticipated at
+the start of the project. I've turned it into a more complete solution for Perl
+6 projects in general.
+
+`assixt` can create new Perl 6 module skeletons, complete with `.gitignore`,
+basic CHANGELOG, Travis and GitLab CI configurations and more. It will also
+keep version numbers used accross your project in sync, create correct
+distribution tarballs and allows you to upload them to [CPAN][cpan] directly
+from the command line.
+
+I've given a presentation on this project at the 14th Dutch Perl Workshop, and
+the slides are available [on the Slides section of my site][slides] as well.
+
+## Installation
+
+To install `assixt`, you will need to have Perl 6 installed, and `zef`
+available as well. I recommend you use [Rakudo Star][rakudo] releases for
+these. If you're using GNU+Linux, you might want to take a look at
+[LoneStar][lonestar].  This is a Bash program that will fetch, unpack and
+compile Rakudo Star Perl 6 for you, including `zef` and a number of other
+common modules.
+
+If you have Perl 6 installed, simply invoke `zef` to install the module
+containing `assixt`:
+
+```sh
+zef install App::Assixt
+```
+
+## Support and feedback
+
+Check out `assixt --help` for an overview of what you can do with it. You can
+also check the README on the repository to get a more extensive overview of the
+possibilities, and some examples on how to use it.
+
+You can also create issues on the repository if you are still having trouble,
+or perhaps even found a bug. The `#perl6` channel on Freenode might also be of
+assistance, as I am almost always available in that channel (so long as I'm
+awake). You can report feedback through issues or IRC as well.
