-## Why?
-
-- **Privacy**: Your videos stay on your device
-- **Free features**: Most basic CapCut features are now paywalled 
-- **Simple**: People want editors that are easy to use - CapCut proved that
-
-## Project Structure
-
-- `apps/web/`: Next.js web application
-- `apps/desktop/`: Native desktop app built with GPUI (in progress)
-- `rust/`: Platform-agnostic core: GPU compositor, effects, masks, and WASM bindings. We're actively migrating business logic here from TypeScript.
-- `docs/`: Architecture and subsystem documentation
-
-## Getting Started
-
-### Prerequisites
-
-- [Bun](https://bun.sh/docs/installation)
-- [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/) and [Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/)
-
-> **Note:** Docker is optional but recommended for running the local database and Redis. If you only want to work on frontend features, you can skip it.
-
-### Setup
-
-1. Fork and clone the repository
-
-2. Copy the environment file:
-
-   ```bash
-   # Unix/Linux/Mac
-   cp apps/web/.env.example apps/web/.env.local
-
-   # Windows PowerShell
-   Copy-Item apps/web/.env.example apps/web/.env.local
-   ```
-
-3. Start the database and Redis:
-
-   ```bash
-   docker compose up -d db redis serverless-redis-http
-   ```
-
-4. Install dependencies and start the dev server:
-
-   ```bash
-   bun install
-   bun dev:web
-   ```
-
-The application will be available at [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000).
-
-The `.env.example` has sensible defaults that match the Docker Compose config — it should work out of the box.

-Desktop is opt-in. If you're only working on the web app, skip this entirely.
+## Status
 
-If you want to get ready for `apps/desktop`, see [`apps/desktop/README.md`](apps/desktop/README.md). It's a two-step setup: Rust toolchain first, then desktop native dependencies.
+**OpenCut is being rewritten from the ground up.** What's coming:
 
-### Local WASM development
+- An Editor API as the shared foundation
+- First-class third party plugins (made possible by a plugin-first architecture)
+- Desktop, mobile, and browser from one codebase (Rust core)
+- MCP support
+- A scripting tab directly in the editor
 
-Only needed if you're editing `rust/wasm` and want the web app to use your local build instead of the published package.
-
-**Prerequisites** — install these once before anything else:
-
-```bash
-# Rust toolchain
-curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
-
-# build the WASM package
-cargo install wasm-pack
-
-# reruns the build on file changes, used by bun dev:wasm
-cargo install cargo-watch
-```
-
-1. Build the package once from the repo root:
-
-   ```bash
-   bun run build:wasm
-   ```
-
-2. Register the generated package for linking:
-
-   ```bash
-   cd rust/wasm/pkg
-   bun link
-   ```
-
-3. Link `apps/web` to the local package:
-
-   ```bash
-   cd apps/web
-   bun link opencut-wasm
-   ```
-
-4. Rebuild on changes while you work:
-
-   ```bash
-   bun dev:wasm
-   ```
-
-To switch `apps/web` back to the published package, run:
-
-```bash
-cd apps/web
-bun add opencut-wasm
-```
-
-### Self-Hosting with Docker
-
-To run everything (including a production build of the app) in Docker:
-
-```bash
-docker compose up -d
-```
-
-The app will be available at [http://localhost:3100](http://localhost:3100).
+You can still find the previous version at [opencut-app/opencut-classic](https://github.com/opencut-app/opencut-classic), which is the one to reach for today. [opencut.app](https://opencut.app) still runs the classic version; the rewrite will live at [new.opencut.app](https://new.opencut.app) until it's ready to take over.
 
 ## Contributing
 
-We welcome contributions! While we're actively developing and refactoring certain areas, there are plenty of opportunities to contribute effectively.
+We're not set up to take outside contributions yet while the architecture is being designed. If you want to follow along, ask questions, or just hang out, [join the Discord](https://discord.gg/zmR9N35cjK) or [open an issue](https://github.com/opencut-app/opencut/issues).
 
-**🎯 Focus areas:** Timeline functionality, project management, performance, bug fixes, and UI improvements outside the preview panel.
-
-**⚠️ Avoid for now:** Preview panel enhancements (fonts, stickers, effects) and export functionality - we're refactoring these with a new binary rendering approach.
-
-See our [Contributing Guide](.github/CONTRIBUTING.md) for detailed setup instructions, development guidelines, and complete focus area guidance.
