 # Phonograph
 
-A friendly, collaborative PostgreSQL derivative for nerds of all stripes.
+Phonograph is a friendly, collaborative data platform for nerds of all stripes,
+built around PostgreSQL.
+
+Contemporary browser-centric platforms like Airtable open new frontiers for data
+engineering, but they suffer from limitations that conventional databases have
+long since addressed: relational data models are an afterthought; row-level
+security is missing; third party integrations must be implemented piecemeal for
+lack of a standardized API. Phonograph addresses these shortfalls by
+implementing an accessible front-end interface backed by an existing, mature
+database management system.
