+## Usage
 
-## Install
+Download/run the binaries for your platform in the releases section.<br>
+Developers can run it via [LÖVR](https://lovr.org) or [LÖVE2D](https://love2d.org)
 
-Make sure to [download the loVR runtime](https://lovr.org/downloads) and drag
-the `src`-folder of this repository to the **lovr** application [as described in the docs](https://lovr.org/downloads)
-
-If you already have lovr installed, you can run this in your console as well:
 ```
+$ love src      # if you have LÖVE2D installed (>v12)
+$ lovr src      # if you have LÖVR installed
+```
+
+## Multiplatform
+
+The aim of this project is providing **one [XR Hypermedia browser](https://xrhf.isvery.ninja) codebase** which gracefully degrades between:
+
+* mac/win/linux/android via [LÖVE2D](https://love2d.org)
+* mac/win/linux/android via [LÖVR](https://lovr.org)
+* Web (2D) via [love.js](https://github.com/Davidobot/love.js)
+* Nintendo 3DS, Switch, and Wii via [lovebrew](https://lovebrew.org/)
+* Handhelds: Steamdeck, Anbernic, Gameforce, Game Kiddy, Powkiddy (..and more) via [portmaster](https://portmaster.games/supported-devices.html)
+* Game emulators via [lutro](https://lutro.libretro.com/)
+* Embedded devices via lua and/oror [nelua](https://nelua.org)
+
+## Ultra-hackable Extensions
+
+* XURFER does everything via browser extensions.<br>
+* XURFER is the total sum of browser extensions.<br>
+
+So you can strip/bloat however you want, or build one yourself:
+
+```
+$ cp src/ext/skeleton src/ext/myextension
+$ sed 's|skeleton|myextension|g' src/ext/myextension/*
 $ ./lovr src
+[i] loading 'myextension'
+...
 ```
-
-or nix:
-
-```
-$ appimage-run ./lovr src
-```
