-Nebula is a customizable and privacy-focused web browser built with Electron. It was designed to be lightweight, secure, and user-friendly, with a strong emphasis on **controller-first interaction**, performance, and privacy, particularly for handheld PCs and living room setups.

-## Why Development Is Paused
+## Why the Project Changed Direction
 
-Nebula was created with a very specific goal: to be a **controller-first browser designed to live inside the Steam ecosystem**, especially for Steam Deck and SteamOS users who wanted a seamless web experience without relying on desktop mode, keyboards, or external workarounds.
+Nebula was originally created with a very specific goal: to be a **controller-first browser designed to live inside the Steam ecosystem**, especially for Steam Deck and SteamOS users who wanted a seamless web experience without relying on desktop mode, keyboards, or external workarounds.
 
 During the Steam review process, Valve determined that Nebula does not fit within Steam’s allowed categories for non-game software. As a result, the browser could not be distributed on the Steam Store.
 
-While Nebula can function as a desktop browser, distributing it outside of Steam fundamentally changes the experience it was designed to provide. Requiring third-party installation methods or desktop workflows compromises the original problem Nebula was built to solve.
+At the time, Steam distribution was considered a core pillar of the project, and development was paused as the original vision could no longer be fulfilled in its intended form.
 
-Rather than continue active development in a direction that no longer aligned with that original vision, the project was placed into a dormant state.
+Since then, community feedback has highlighted broader interest in Nebula’s **input model and interaction design**, beyond Steam or SteamOS alone. Because of this, Nebula has been re-contextualized as a Linux-first project rather than a Steam-native application.

-## What This Means
+## What This Means Now
 
-* Nebula is **not deleted or abandoned**
+* Nebula is **not abandoned**
-* The codebase remains open and accessible
+* It is **no longer a main or priority project**
-* Community use, forks, and experimentation are welcome
+* Development happens **occasionally and without a fixed schedule**
-* There is currently **no commitment** to future updates
+* The project is no longer tied to Steam or SteamOS
+* Linux desktop users, handhelds, and alternative input setups are the primary audience
 
-If the ecosystem, platform landscape, or community interest meaningfully changes in the future, the project’s status can be reassessed. Until then, Nebula stands as a complete exploration of controller-first browser design.
+Nebula exists as an ongoing experiment in controller- and keyboard-driven web navigation. It may evolve further, remain stable, or inspire forks and derivative projects.

+## Distribution
+
+Nebula may be distributed outside of Steam through platforms such as:
+
+* GitHub (source and releases)
+* itch.io
+* Flatpak / Flathub
