## Description

`About` is an application that displays information about Minerva.

On the left is the official Ladyball logo. Designed by Katalin Kult, it combines the Yin-Yang symbol with the distinctive shell pattern of a [ladybird](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coccinellidae), the projects's insect motif. It symbolizes the Minerva philosophy, encompassing the _Minerva Prayer's_ acceptance of the uncontrollable, the _Yin and yang_ concept of balancing opposing forces, and _Lagom_, the Swedish concept of moderation or finding "just the right amount."

Since there are no official releases of the project, the version number is denoted as `1.0-dev` and the revision number reflects the latest Git commit's hash.
