+
+Gio elements
+
+This is a widget toolkit based on the basic set of material widgets built with Gio.
+
+So far, the following additional widgets have been created - scrollbar for the scrolling list, a column and basic table,
+and a top-bar side-bar status-bar multi-page application framework, and a background process runner to minimise
+interruptions to the rendering of the interfaces.
+
+There is also a state-widget pool generated with the stuff in `poolgen/` that you initialize before starting the render
+loop that can then be used anywhere to add new clickables, bools, inputs and so on, without having to double up with a 
+pre-specification, they allocate first run and then cache thereafter, maintaining their state.
+
+Gel uses fluent programming techniques to simplify and denoise the visual structure of Gio widget definitions. To take
+maximum advantage of it, make use of the fact that Go allows breaking lines after dot operators between the chained
+methods such that each movable section can be pulled up and moved into another position without dealing with a screenful
+of red underlines in your IDE caused by unpaired brackets.
+
+Future plans include creating a serialization format for events and render op queues and accompanying socket transports
+to enable remote display and control of user interfaces.
