The readme file is what (prospective) users check out first. As it was, it didn't make it easy to identify key features of the library as it consisted of a large prose paragraph followed by long code examples.

This change makes several improvements to the readme structure to make it more appealing and easier to identify the value proposition of the library. Namely:

  • Collapse code examples
  • Add a one sentence description of the library
  • List key features as bullet point so they are easily discoverable
  • Add a "when to use" section to allow quick decision making

I think this is overall a good improvement and it definitely makes it more "catchy". Feedback welcome!
