+Small broadcasting suite for Twitch, includes:
 
-- Extremely simple/fast disk-backed KV over websocket ([Kilovolt](https://github.com/strimertul/kilovolt)) for interacting with web-based overlays
-  - and it has pub/sub!
-- Static file server for said overlays
-- Loyalty system that tracks viewers and allows them to redeem rewards and contribute to community goals
-- Twitch IRC bot to tie everything together
-- Backend integration ([stulbe](https://github.com/strimertul/stulbe))
+- Simple way to build stream overlays with minimal code
+- Loyalty points system with redeems and community goals
+- Twitch chat integration with custom commands
+- Support for Twitch alerts and channel point redeems<sup>1</sup>
 
-Platform support is limited to Twitch only for the time being (sorry!)
+<sub>1. Requires external tool hosted somewhere</sub>
+
+**Note:** some technical/coding experience is currently required to be able to use this effectively, see the technical overview below for more information.
 
 ## Getting started
 
 Download the latest build from here: [github.com/strimertul/strimertul/releases/latest](https://github.com/strimertul/strimertul/releases/latest)
 
-Start strimertul and the Web UI will appear when the app is done loading, you can start configuring and using it from there!
+Start `strimertul.exe` and as soon as it will load a browser window will open with a Web UI you can use to configure it to your heart's content.
+
+You can also build the project yourself, refer to the Building section below.
+
+## Technical overview
+
+Strimertül is a single executable app that provides the following:
+ - HTTP server for serving static assets and a websocket API
+ - Twitch bot for handling chat messages and providing custom commands
+ - Polling-based loyalty system for rewards and community goals
+
+At strimertul's core is [Kilovolt](https://github.com/strimertul/kilovolt), a pub/sub key-value store accessible via websocket. You can access every functionality of strimertul through the Kilovolt API. Check [this repository](https://github.com/strimertul/kilovolt-clients) for a list of officially supported kilovolt clients (or submit your own). You should be able to easily build a client yourself by just creating a websocket connection and using the [Kilovolt protocol](https://github.com/strimertul/kilovolt/blob/main/PROTOCOL.md).
+
+Check out the [project's wiki](https://github.com/strimertul/strimertul/wiki) for more information on how to use the API to interact with strimertul.
