+# Barkey
+
 [![status-badge](https://ci.zima.ong/api/badges/1/status.svg?branch=stable)](https://ci.zima.ong/repos/1/branches/stable)
 
+Barkey is Sharkey with a few minor tweaks. It was created as a personal project so that I can learn some development fundamentals, and is used in production on [yeentown](https://yeen.town). For several reasons, I **highly encourage** you to use Sharkey instead of this fork.
+
+> ⚠️ I have temporarily stopped creating arm64 images due to the ridiculous time it takes to build in QEMU. These will be back in the future when I am able to set up an arm64 node. If you require arm builds, please build from source for the time being. Thank you for your understanding.
