 # updeep [![NPM version][npm-image]][npm-url] [![Build Status][travis-image]][travis-url] [![Dependency Status][daviddm-image]][daviddm-url] 
 > Easily update immutable objects (frozen or not) in a declarative way.
 
+## About
+
+Updating deeply nested objects/arrays is a bit of a pain.
+updeep makes it painless by allowing you to declare the updates you would like
+to make and it will take care of the rest.
+You can use it on frozen objects, as updeep never mutates.
+It will recursively return the same instance if no changes have been made,
+making it ideal for using reference equality checks to detect changes (like
+[PureRenderMixin]).
+
+updeep requires [lodash], but works very well with `lodash-fp`. As a matter of
+fact, many of the helpers functions are curried [lodash] functions with their
+parameters reversed.
+
+Note that the parameters may be backwards from what you are used to. updeep
+supports currying, so the parameter order is: `updeep(updates, obj)`.
+
+## Examples
+
+```js
+var u = require('updeep');
+
+// Simple update
+u({ x: { b: 3 } }, { x: { a: 0, b: 0 } });
+// => { x: { a: 0, b: 3 } }
+
+// Multiple updates, including an array
+u({ x: { b: 3 }, y: { 1: 4 } }, { x: { a: 0, b: 0 }, y: [0, 0] });
+// => { x: { a: 0, b: 3 }, y: [0, 4] }
+
+// Use a function
+var inc = function(i) { return i + 1; }
+u({ x: { b: inc } }, { x: { a: 0, b: 0 } });
+// => { x: { a: 0, b: 1 } }
+
+// Curry
+var setBTo3 = u({ b: 3 });
+setBTo3({ a: 0, b: 0 });
+// => { a: 0, b: 3 })
+
+// Remove a property
+u({ x: u.omit('b') }, { x: { a: 0, b: 0 } });
+// => { x: { a: 0 } }
+
+// With a default
+u({ x: withDefault([], { 0: 3 }) }, {});
+// => { x: [3] }
+
+// ES6 computed properties
+var key = 'b';
+u({ x: { [key]: 3 } }, { x: { a: 0, b: 0 } });
+// => { x: { a: 0, b: 3 } }
+```
+
+See the [tests] for more examples.
 
 ## Install
 
@@ -8,24 +63,29 @@
 $ npm install --save updeep
 ```
 
+Requires [lodash] as a peer dependency, so make sure you have it installed as
+well.
 
-## Usage
+## Motivation
 
-```js
-var u = require('updeep');
+While creating reducers for use with [redux], I wanted something that made it
+easy to work with frozen objects. Native javascript objects have some nice
+advantages over things like [Immutable.js][immutablejs] such as debugging and
+destructuring. I wanted something more powerful than [icepick] and more
+composable than [React.addons.update].
 
-u({ foo: 3 }, { foo: 1, bar: 2 });
-// => { foo: 3, bar: 2 }
+## Contributing
 
-Or with a function:
-u({ foo: x => (x + 1) }, { foo: 2 });
-// => { foo: 3 }
-```
+1. Fork it.
+1. Create your feature branch (`git checkout -b my-new-feature`).
+1. Run `gulp` to run tests and lint.
+1. Commit your changes (`git commit -am 'Added some feature'`).
+1. Push to the branch (`git push origin my-new-feature`).
