 Introductory tutorial and example starter project, building towards a basic mechanical keyboard macropad.
 
+The overall workflow is:
+1. Write HDL code to define a top-level design, using library blocks.
+2. Compile the design to generate a netlist and BoM data.
+3. Load the netlist into KiCad PCB Editor for layout and routing.
+4. Optionally, iterate without losing layout progress.

 ### Hardware Description Language (HDL)
 To support user-defined computation of parameters and generator blocks, the design system is implemented as a _hardware description language_ (HDL).
 That is, blocks are "placed" or instantiated, and their ports are connected, through lines in code instead of GUI actions in a graphical schematic.

+### Optional PyCharm IDE with Graphical Editor
 We have also built a basic IDE (as a PyCharm plugin, must be compiled locally) that provides some basic graphical integrations for working with HDL. 
 Specifically, it:
