         Our primary goal is to be as open as possible, with all our code being
-        Open Source, while giving back to the modding community as much as
-        possible.

+        while giving back to the modding community as much as possible.
       </p>
 
       <p>
         While we still are in beta, we hope we can be a major modding platform
         for all modders.

+      <h2>How does Modrinth work?</h2>
+      <p>
+        Modrinth is not just a website: it is made of several different
+        components that all come together to make a fast and flexible modding
+        platform.
+      </p>
+
+      <p>
+        On the technical level, Modrinth is made up of two main components: the
+        Rust-based backend named
+        <a target="_blank" href="https://github.com/modrinth/labrinth"
+          >Labrinth</a
+        >, and the Vue-based frontend named
+        <a target="_blank" href="https://github.com/modrinth/knossos">Knossos</a
+        >.
+      </p>
+
+      <p>
+        Additionally, some other custom-created resources exist, including but
+        not limited to:
+        <a target="_blank" href="https://github.com/modrinth/minotaur"
+          >Minotaur</a
+        >, a Gradle plugin for easily publishing mods to Modrinth, and
+        <a target="_blank" href="https://github.com/modrinth/minos">Minos</a>,
+        an authentication provider. All of Modrinth's code can be found on
+        <a target="_blank" href="https://github.com/modrinth">our GitHub page</a
+        >.
+      </p>
+      <h2>Backend Documentation</h2>
+      <p>
+        Documentation for the Modrinth API (Labrinth) can be found on the GitHub
+        repository's wiki
+        <a
