-imageproxy is a caching image proxy server written in go.  It supports basic
-image adjustments like resizing, cropping, and rotation, and access control
-using host whitelists or request signing.  And because it's pure go, deployment
-is a breeze.
+imageproxy is a caching image proxy server written in go.  It features:
+
+ - basic image adjustments like resizing, cropping, and rotation
+ - access control using host whitelists or request signing (HMAC-SHA256)
+ - support for jpeg, png, and gif image formats (including animated gifs)
+ - on-disk caching, respecting the cache headers of the original images
+ - easy deployment, since it's pure go
 
-This project was originally inspired by, and was designed to be an alternative
-to, WordPress's [photon service][photon] (read more in [this post][]).
 Personally, I use it primarily to dynamically resize images hosted on my own
-site.  But you can also enable request signing and use it as an SSL proxy for
-remote images, similar to [atmos/camo][] but with additional image adjustment
-options.
