+### About us
+
+This idea page is for multiple Borg-related projects listed below. Borg is a Python-based backup tool. Borgmatic is a CLI wrapper for it that keeps settings and runs pre- and post-backup tasks. Vorta is a desktop GUI for Borg. See each repo here:
+
+- https://github.com/borgbackup/borg/
+- https://github.com/borgbase/vorta/ (this repo)
+- https://github.com/borgbase/ansible-role-borgbackup
+- https://github.com/borgmatic-collective/borgmatic
+- https://github.com/borgmatic-collective/docker-borgmatic
+
+**Technologies used**: All projects use Python as main language. Vorta also relies on Qt for the GUI parts. If you're interested in devops/deployment, we also have an [Ansible role](https://github.com/borgbase/ansible-role-borgbackup) and a [Docker repo](https://github.com/borgmatic-collective/docker-borgmatic).
