+# Steam Backlog Helper
+
+Steam Backlog Helper is a planned cross-platform desktop application that helps Steam users pick a game from a large backlog.
+
+The first version is picker-first: it asks a short set of questions, scores the user's Steam library, and presents a dynamic shortlist with a slot-machine style reveal. It is designed for personal use first, with an open-source release path.
+
