-	# Pixel Presenter
+	$(B Pixel Presenter) is a high-level display library for one specific scenario:
+	Blitting fully-rendered frames to the screen.
+
+	This is useful for software-rendered applications.
+	Think of old-skool games, emulators etc.
+
+	This library builds upon [arsd.simpledisplay] and [arsd.color].
+	It wraps a [arsd.simpledisplay.SimpleWindow|SimpleWindow]) and displays the provided frame data.
+	Each frame is automatically centered on, and optionally scaled to, the carrier window.
+	This processing is done with hardware acceleration (OpenGL).
+	Later versions might add a software-mode.
+
+	Several $(B scaling) modes are supported.
+	Most notably `keepAspectRatio` that scales frames to the while preserving the original aspect ratio.
+	See [Scaling] for details.
+
+	$(PITFALL
+		This module is $(B work in progress).
+		API is subject to changes until further notice.

+	- Is there something in arsd that serves a similar purpose to `PixelBuffer`?
+	- Minimum window size

+	In fact, different implementations tend to contradict each other.
