So what is it?

The README for this project is extremely minimal, just the project name, so there's limited information to work with. Based on the repository name "feedlight" and its JavaScript foundation, this appears to be a web-based tool or library, but the README doesn't explain what it actually does, who should use it, or how to get started. To understand this project properly, you'd need to look at the code files, any documentation in the repository, or the project's GitHub page directly. The name suggests it might relate to "feeds" (like RSS feeds, social media feeds, or notification feeds) combined with "light" (possibly lightweight, or a visual interface), but that's speculation rather than fact. If you're considering using or contributing to this project, your best bet is to explore the actual code files in the repository or reach out to the maintainer for clarification. A one-word README typically means the project is either very early-stage, primarily documented elsewhere, or maintained more as a personal tool than a public resource.
