+# Lustre examples directory
+
+Each of the examples in this directory is a self-contained, complete Gleam app
+that demonstrates a particular feature or concept of the library. For newcomers,
+we recommend looking through them in order, as each example tends to build on
+the previous ones. Feel free to jump in to any example that interests you, though!
+
+> **Note**: these examples all use [`lustre/ui`](https://github.com/lustre-labs/ui)
+> to show off something a little more visually interesting than unstyled HTML. None
+> of the ideas in these examples are specific to `lustre/ui`, though, and you should
+> know that you can follow along with any of these examples using only the standard
+> `lustre/element/html` module.
+
+## Examples
+
+- [`01-hello-world`](https://github.com/lustre-labs/lustre/tree/main/examples/01-hello-world)
+  is a simple example to just get something on the screen.
+
+- [`02-interactivity`](https://github.com/lustre-labs/lustre/tree/main/examples/02-interactivity)
+  introduces the core Model-View-Update loop that underpins every Lustre application.
+
+- [`03-controlled-inputs`](https://github.com/lustre-labs/lustre/tree/main/examples/03-controlled-inputs)
+  demonstrates the most common way to handle `<input />` elements in Lustre.
+
+- [`04-custom-event-handlers`](https://github.com/lustre-labs/lustre/tree/main/examples/04-custom-event-handlers)
+  shows you how to write your own event handlers and decoders, instead of relying on the ones provided
+  by `lustre/event`.
+
+- [`05-http-requests`](https://github.com/lustre-labs/lustre/tree/main/examples/05-http-requests)
+  demonstrates how side effects are handled in Lustre, using the third-party
+  [`lustre_http`](https://hexdocs.pm/lustre_http/) package.
+
+- [`06-custom-effects`](https://github.com/lustre-labs/lustre/tree/main/examples/06-custom-effects)
+  builds on the previous example and shows you how to write your own side effects for Lustre to
+  perform.
+
+- [`07-routing`](https://github.com/lustre-labs/lustre/tree/main/examples/07-routing) shows how to use
+  the routing package [`modem`](https://hexdocs.pm/modem/) to handle client-side routing in a Lustre
+  application.
+
+## Getting help
+
+If you're having trouble with Lustre or not sure what the right way to do
+something is, the best place to get help is the [Gleam Discord server](https://discord.gg/Fm8Pwmy).
+You could also open an issue on the [Lustre GitHub repository](https://github.com/lustre-labs/lustre/issues).
+
+While our docs are still a work in progress, the official [Elm guide](https://guide.elm-lang.org)
+is also a great resource for learning about the Model-View-Update architecture
+and the kinds of patterns that Lustre is built around.
