Loving the FAQ! Just made a few small suggestions

| ## Is my project right for Quire? | ||
|
|

| Quire is optimized for book-like projects, especially those that rely on visual illustrations and/or scholarly apparatus like citations, bibliographies, and footnotes. Quire is also ideal for projects you want to last a long-time. While most websites have a lifespan of website is 2-5 years, the very first Quire publication, *Ancient Terracottas*, was released in 2016 and is still going strong. |

For new users, we recommend using v1 as it is the most stable, reliable, and fully featured version of the tool. |
