-# Features
+## Features
+
+**netdata** is a highly optimized Linux daemon providing **real-time performance monitoring for Linux systems, Applications, SNMP devices, over the web**!
+
+It tries to visualize the **truth of now**, in its **greatest detail**, so that you can get insights of what is happening now and what just happened, on your systems and applications.
 
-Check wiki page **[Why netdata?](https://github.com/firehol/netdata/wiki/Why-netdata%3F)**.
+This is what you get:
+
+- **Stunning bootstrap dashboards**, out of the box (themable: dark, light)
+- **Blazingly fast** and **super efficient**, mostly written in C (for default installations, expect just 2% of a single core CPU usage and a few MB of RAM)
+- **Zero configuration** - you just install it and it autodetects everything
+- **Zero dependencies**, it is its own web server for its static web files and its web API
+- **Zero maintenance**, you just run it, it does the rest
+- **Custom dashboards** that can be built using simple HTML (no javascript necessary)
+- **Extensible**, you can monitor anything you can get a metric for, using its Plugin API (anything can be a netdata plugin - from BASH to node.js, so you can easily monitor any application, any API)
+- **Embeddable**, it can run anywhere a Linux kernel runs and its charts can be embedded on your web pages too

-# Installation
+## What does it monitor?
+
+This is what it currently monitors (most with zero configuration):
+
+- **CPU usage, interrupts, softirqs and frequency** (total and per core)
+
+- **RAM, swap and kernel memory usage** (including KSM and kernel memory deduper)
+
+- **Disks** (per disk: I/O, operations, backlog, utilization, space, etc)

+
+And you can extend it, by writing plugins that collect data from any source, using any computer language.
