+
+# Highway - A Modern Web Development Framework
+
+Highway is a framework designed to make web development more accessible and enjoyable. Built with modern best practices in mind, it provides a streamlined development experience while maintaining flexibility and power.
+
+## Key Features
+
+- **Modern Architecture**: Built on top of Rails 8, leveraging the latest web technologies
+- **Developer Experience**: Hot reloading, intuitive APIs, and comprehensive documentation
+- **Performance First**: Optimized for speed and efficiency out of the box
+- **Extensible**: Easy to customize and extend with plugins and middleware
+
+## Getting Started
+
+1. Clone the repository:
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/hackclub/highway.git
+cd highway
+```
+
+2. Install dependencies:
+```bash
+bundle install
+```
+
+3. Start the development server:
+```bash
+bin/dev
+```
+
+## Project Structure
+
+```
+highway/
+├── app/
+│   ├── controllers/
+│   ├── models/
+│   └── views/
+├── config/
+├── content/
+│   └── projects/
+└── public/
+```
+
+## Development Progress
+
+### Week 1
+- Set up basic project structure
+- Implemented core routing system
+- Added basic authentication
+
+### Week 2
+- Built project documentation system
+- Implemented markdown rendering
+- Added project submission workflow
+
+## Next Steps
+
+- [ ] Add more comprehensive testing
+- [ ] Improve documentation
