+# Tampiorama — Project Plan
+
+This is a project plan for project that's meaning is to be open source showcase for Tampio, the Finnish natural-language OOP language that compiles to JavaScript.
+
+## Project Goals
+
+- Provide working, annotated examples of Tampio code
+- Document the language for English and Finnish speakers
+- Make Tampio easy to try via Docker (no manual libvoikko setup)
+
+## Project Structure
+
+```
+tampiorama/
+├── Dockerfile
+├── docker-compose.yml
+├── README.md                  ← language tour (bilingual FI/EN)
+├── docs/
+│   ├── cheatsheet.md          ← grammatical cases → parameter roles
+│   ├── install.md             ← local setup without Docker
+│   └── vs-javascript.md       ← side-by-side comparisons
+└── examples/
+    ├── basics/                ← factorial, fibonacci, hello world
+    ├── data-structures/       ← lists, maps
+    ├── strings/
+    ├── async/                 ← Promise/async usage
+    └── program/               ← small "real" program
+```
+
+## Docker
+
+- Base image: Debian or Ubuntu (libvoikko available via apt)
+- Installs: `libvoikko-dev`, Node.js, `tampio` (npm)
+- Goal: `docker run` gives a working Tampio environment with no manual setup
+
+## Open Questions
+
+- [ ] Docs language: bilingual FI/EN or English only? (bilingual fits the theme)
+- [ ] Scope: curated examples repo, or also a GitHub Pages web showcase / playground?
+- [ ] Hosting: GitHub (likely — standard for open source)
+- [ ] Is Tampio working locally? The libvoikko dependency can be tricky; Docker is the primary path until confirmed.
+
+## Notes
+
+- Project name: **Tampiorama**
+- libvoikko local setup not yet confirmed working — Docker is the primary path
+- `docs/cheatsheet.md` should cover annotated grammar constructs (Finnish cases → parameter roles) as well as raw syntax

+# Tampiorama
+
+A showcase for [Tampio](https://github.com/fergusq/tampio), a natural-language object-oriented programming language that uses Finnish grammar and compiles to JavaScript.
+
+Tampiorama provides working, annotated examples and documentation to help you explore Tampio without wrestling with its native dependencies.
+
+## Quickstart (Docker)
+
+The easiest way to try Tampio, no manual `libvoikko` setup required:
+
+```sh
+docker compose run --rm tampio
+```
+
+This drops you into a shell with `tampio` available. Run any example:
+
+```sh
+tampio examples/basics/hello.tampio
+```
+
+## What is Tampio?
+
+Tampio programs read like Finnish sentences. Methods are defined using grammatical cases, so the language's syntax is shaped by natural-language morphology rather than punctuation.
+
+```tampio
+[Tampio example will go here]
+```
+
+See [`docs/cheatsheet.md`](docs/cheatsheet.md) for a map of Finnish grammatical cases to their roles in Tampio code, and [`docs/vs-javascript.md`](docs/vs-javascript.md) for side-by-side comparisons with JavaScript.
+
+## Examples
+
+| Directory | Contents |
+|-----------|----------|
+| `examples/basics/` | Hello world, factorial, Fibonacci |
+| `examples/data-structures/` | Lists, maps |
+| `examples/strings/` | String manipulation |
+| `examples/async/` | Promise / async usage |
+| `examples/program/` | A small complete program |
+
+## Local Setup (without Docker)
+
+See [`docs/install.md`](docs/install.md) for instructions on installing `libvoikko` and `tampio` natively.
