+# Dollhouse
+
+For someone who just signed a lease (or is about to rearrange) and is arguing with their partner or roommate about whether the couch fits along that wall, Dollhouse turns a hand-drawn floor plan into a shareable isometric diorama in under a minute — no account, no app, no upload.
+
+## What is Dollhouse?
+
+Dollhouse is a free browser-based tool that lets you quickly create a 3D-like isometric visualization of your room layout. Simply trace your floor plan by dragging walls onto a grid, then drop in furniture from a small library (couch, bed, desk, plants, TV). The page renders a polished isometric 'dollhouse view' of your room as an SVG, live, with no upload and no account required.
+
+The whole plan is encoded in the URL, so sharing is just copying the link — perfect for sending to your roommate or partner to settle the "will the couch fit" debate. One primary button lets you download a PNG or SVG poster of the diorama.
+
+## Who is it for?
