## A note about the project's name

The project was named after Allan Moore's character [Evey Hammond](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evey_Hammond) from the graphic novel V for Vendetta.

It has nothing to do with the horrible headlines on the news.

## Acknowledgments

Hammond's design is heavily insired by [GNOME Music](https://wiki.gnome.org/Design/Apps/Music) and [Vocal](http://vocalproject.net/).

We also copied some elements from [GNOME News](https://wiki.gnome.org/Design/Apps/Potential/News).

And almost the entirety of the build system is copied from the [Fractal](https://gitlab.gnome.org/danigm/fractal) project.
