+# Wish Docs
+
+Welcome to the Wish official documentation. If you're new to the project, make
+sure you check out the [README][README] for a high-level overview of the project
+and how to get started. From there, take a look at the [examples][examples].
+They're ordered by complexity and will show you how to use Wish. If you're
+looking for additional functionality not shown in the examples, I'd highly
+recommend checking out the [godoc][pkg.go.dev]. The godoc showcases all of the
+functionality available to you with Wish alongside descriptions on what those
+functions do.
+
+If you want *more* examples from projects of various sizes,
+[sourcegraph][sourcegraph] is a great code search tool that can help you find
+other projects that use Wish. A great way to leverage this tool is when looking
+at our API (in the godoc), do a global search for that specific function. e.g.
+`wish.NewServer`. If you have questions about the limitations of Wish, we're
+happy to help, though given we're a small team of maintainers, it may take some
+time. In the meantime, you may find that [phorm.ai][phorm] is helpful in
+answering your questions about Charm projects. We've found it to be quite
+helpful so far.
+
+This directory includes additional information about how Wish works. The topics
+chosen for this section are based on frequently asked questions in the
+community. If there's a topic you'd like to see covered in this section, please
+submit an [issue][issue] with links to or quotes of questions on that topic.
+That will allow us to ensure we're answering the question effectively.

+# Truecolor Over SSH With Wish
+
+If you're having issues with colors displaying properly in your Wish apps, you
+may have to force `truecolor` support with
+`bm.MiddlewareWithColorProfile(handler, termenv.TrueColor)` when defining the
+middleware for your `Wish` server. This will force `truecolor` support. For
+example:
+
+```go
+import (
+// ...
+    tea "github.com/charmbracelet/bubbletea"
+	"github.com/charmbracelet/lipgloss"
+	"github.com/charmbracelet/log"
+	"github.com/charmbracelet/ssh"
+	"github.com/charmbracelet/wish"
+	"github.com/charmbracelet/wish/activeterm"
+	"github.com/charmbracelet/wish/bubbletea"
+	"github.com/charmbracelet/wish/logging"
+)
+
+// ...
+
+func main() {
+	s, err := wish.NewServer(
+		wish.WithAddress(net.JoinHostPort(host, port)),
+		wish.WithHostKeyPath(".ssh/id_ed25519"),
+		wish.WithMiddleware(
+            bubbletea.MiddlewareWithColorProfile(teaHandler, termenv.TrueColor) // Force truecolor.
+			activeterm.Middleware(), // Bubble Tea apps usually require a PTY.
+			logging.Middleware(),
+		),
+	)),
+	)
+// ...
+```
+
+[see more][examples-bubbletea]
+
+This *may* cause issues for users accessing your Wish app through a terminal
+emulator that is not `truecolor` compatible (e.g. Apple's Terminal app).
+
+## Color profiles? What, like it's hard?
+
+We'll dive into the root of the problem for those who want to learn more. In an
+SSH session, the client only sends the `TERM` environment variable, which can
+only detect `256 color` support. If you run `echo $COLORTERM` in your shell
+you'll likely see `truecolor` as the result, which is what you want for ultra
+colorful terminal outputs. If you don't see that as a result, it might be time
+to try a new [terminal emulator][supported-emulators]. 
+
+Unfortunately, there is no standard way for terminals to detect `truecolor`
+support in an SSH session, hence why it defaults to `256 color`. Most terminals
+express their `truecolor` support with the `COLORTERM` environment variable,
+but this doesn't get sent when connecting over SSH. One workaround is to make
+SSH send this environment variable using `SendEnv COLORTERM` in the [`ssh
+config`][truecolor-ssh]. By default, the OpenSSH client (what you're using when
+you run `ssh`) will only send the `TERM` to the remote, so other variables must
+be configured. In the future, we hope to solve this problem by querying the
+terminal for support if `COLORTERM` is not detected.
+
+You can learn more about [checking for `COLORTERM`][colorterm-issue].
+
+Because of this, the color options are limited and your experience running the
+app locally will differ to how it presents over SSH. You're probably wondering
+*how much* of a difference this makes. Well, `256 color` support uses a palette
+with 256 colors available. By contrast, `truecolor` supports a whopping 16
+**million** different colors.

+
+## What is Wish
+
+Wish is an SSH server that allows you to make your apps accessible over SSH. It
+uses SSH middleware to handle connections, so you can serve specific actions to
+the user, then call the next middleware.
+
+Wish uses the SSH protocol to authenticate users, then allows the developer to
+specify how to handle these connections. We've used Wish to serve both TUIs
+(textual UIs) *and* CLIs. If you've hosted your own [Soft Serve][soft] git
+server, then you'll have seen this first hand. Soft Serve uses a middleware to
+serve the TUI and another middleware for its CLI, allowing users to interact
+with the server through either interface. In this case, the CLI is useful for
+any server administration tasks, while the TUI provides a great interface to
+view your repositories. Note that both of these options are accessible through
+the same port (pretty neat).
+
+Similar to a website, this process runs on the server, freeing up your computer's
+resources for other things. What's great about this is it also gives you a
+consistent state no matter where you connect from (as long as you've got your
+authorized SSH keys with you).
+
+## Noteworthy environment variables (for debugging)
+
+These environment variables may help you should you encounter unexpected
+behavior when working with terminal styling.
+
+`TERM` - provides information about your terminal emulator's capabilities. This
+is the only environment variable out of this list that is sent in an SSH
+session. The rest are included for debugging purposes only.
+
+`COLORTERM` - provides information about your terminal emulator's color
+capabilities. Used primarily to specify if your emulator has `truecolor`
+support.
+
+`NO_COLOR` - turns colors on and off. `NO_COLOR=1` for non-colored text
+outputs, `NO_COLOR=0` for colored text outputs.
+
+`CLICOLOR` - turns colors on and off. `CLICOLOR=1` for colored text outputs,
+`CLICOLOR=0` for non-colored text outputs.
+
+`CLICOLOR_FORCE` - overrides `CLICOLOR`.
+
+`NO_COLOR` vs `CLICOLOR`: if `NO_COLOR` is set or `CLICOLOR=0` then the output should
+not be colored. Otherwise, the output can include ansi sequences.
