+### [Encase]
+
+![Encase Logo](./encase.svg)
+
+[Encase] ([docs.rs], [crates.io]) by [@teoxoy] is a new library
+that provides a mechanism to lay out data into GPU buffers
+according to [WGSL's memory layout] rules.
+
+Features
+
+- supports all WGSL [host-shareable types] + wrapper types
+  (`&T`, `&mut T`, `Box<T>`, ...)
+- extensible by design; most traits can be easily implemented
+  for user defined types via macros (see [design])
+- built in support for data types from a multitude of crates
+  (enabled via [features])
+- covers a wide area of use cases (see [examples])
+
+Example
+
+```rust
+use encase::{WgslType, UniformBuffer};
+
+#[derive(WgslType)]
+struct AffineTransform2D {
+    matrix: glam::Mat2,
+    translate: glam::Vec2
+}
+
+let transform = AffineTransform2D {
+    matrix: glam::Mat2::IDENTITY,
+    translate: glam::Vec2::ZERO,
+};
+
+let mut buffer = UniformBuffer::new(Vec::new());
+buffer.write(&transform).unwrap();
+let byte_buffer = buffer.into_inner();
+
+// write byte_buffer to GPU
+```
