-## Why Superset
+## Why Superset?
 
 Superset provides:
-* An intuitive interface to explore and visualize datasets, and
-    create interactive dashboards
-* A wide array of beautiful visualizations to showcase your data.
-* Easy, code-free, user flows to drill down and slice and dice the data
-    underlying exposed dashboards. The dashboards and charts act as a starting
-    point for deeper analysis
-* A state of the art SQL editor/IDE exposing a rich metadata browser, and
-    an easy workflow to create visualizations out of any result set.
-* An extensible, high granularity security model allowing intricate rules
-    on who can access which product features and datasets.
-    Integration with major
-    authentication backends (database, OpenID, LDAP, OAuth, REMOTE_USER, ...)
-* A lightweight semantic layer, allowing to control how data sources are
-    exposed to the user by defining dimensions and metrics
-* Out of the box support for most SQL-speaking databases
-* Deep integration with Druid allows for Superset to stay blazing fast while
-    slicing and dicing large, realtime datasets
-* Fast loading dashboards with configurable caching
