# Introduction
# 👋 Welcome to the Archiyou docs!
Archiyou is an online platform for open parametric design. This is the documentation section.
# How to use this documentation
Depending on your perspective you can use this documentation in various ways:
- For the general public and beginners: First check if Archiyou is something for you at What and why Archiyou?
- For programmers who want to model using code: You might want to jump directly to the Modeling Guide or have a look at the API reference [TODO]. Very soon we'll also open source the core Archiyou library so your scripts can run everywhere
- For designers: You might not be used to coding. Have a look at our quickstart examples to see if you like the potential. Then start at the introduction and get practical with our Modeling Guide.
- You just want some nice paramatric designs? This is coming soon!
Lets continue to the next section What and why Archiyou.
