-{fmt} is an open-source formatting library providing a fast and
-safe alternative to C stdio and C++ iostreams.
-
-* Simple format API with positional arguments for localization
-* Implementation of C++20 std::format and C++23 std::print
-* Format string syntax similar to Python's format
-* Fast IEEE 754 floating-point formatter with correct rounding, shortness
-  and round-trip guarantees using the Dragonbox algorithm
-* Portable Unicode support
-* Safe printf implementation including the POSIX extension for
-  positional arguments
-
-If you like this project, please consider donating to one of the
-funds that help victims of the war in Ukraine: www.stopputin.net/
