+# Orbit
+
+A portable C# / WPF website launcher for Windows, created by **Dario P.**
+
+## Features
+
+- Website cards with automatic or custom icons
+- Collections, search, and drag-to-reorder
+- Import/export libraries with custom icons
+- Undo shortcut deletion and open collections together
+- Light and charcoal themes
+- Starts maximized; green outer outlines indicate dragging and focus
+
+## Run
+
+Download the portable Windows x64 package from this repository's Releases page,
+extract it, and run `ShortcutsPanel.exe`. No installer or separate .NET runtime
+is required. Windows 10 or Windows 11, 64-bit.
+
+## Settings
+
+Links and preferences are stored in `%LOCALAPPDATA%\Orbit\settings.json`.
+**Open settings** opens that folder. The previous save is retained as
+`settings.json.bak`. Older Orbit registry or sidecar settings migrate automatically.
+
+Use **Import / Export** to share your library. Copying the executable alone does
+not carry personal links. Custom icons and collection order are included in exports;
+the theme remains local. Undo history lasts for the current session.
+
+## Build
+
+Requires Windows and the .NET 8 SDK.

+dotnet publish ShortcutsPanel.csproj -c Release -r win-x64 --self-contained true -p:PublishSingleFile=true -p:IncludeNativeLibrariesForSelfExtract=true -p:DebugType=None -p:DebugSymbols=false -o release
