+summary: Modern, GPU accelerated terminal emulator
+description: |
+  Alacritty is a terminal emulator with a strong focus on simplicity and
+  performance. With such a strong focus on performance, included features are
+  carefully considered and you can always expect Alacritty to be blazingly fast.
+  By making sane choices for defaults, Alacritty requires no additional setup.
+  However, it does allow [configuration](#configuration) of many aspects of the
+  terminal.
+
+  The software is considered to be at a **beta** level of readiness -- there are
+  a few missing features and bugs to be fixed, but it is already used by many as
+  a daily driver.
