+# 🤖 mab
 
 **mab** *(MAtrix Bot)* is a **very** simple Python package that can be used to
-develop **very** simple Matrix bots. I have decided to make something like this
+develop **very** simple Matrix bots. It does not aim to be the best library out
-because I wasn't satisfied by simplicity and usage of other libraries. So
+there, but it aims to be convenient and usable for relatively serious projects.
-this library does not aim to be "the best matrix bot library", it only aims to
-be good enough for me.
 
-## Features
+## ✨ Features
 
-The package supports the following features:
+The library supports the following features:
+- **Completely `asyncio` based**
 - **Filter-based callback system**
-- **Images sending**
+- **Sending images**
-- **Videos sending with automatic thumbnail generation (requires `ffmpeg`)**
+- **Sending videos with automatic thumbnail generation (requires `ffmpeg`)**
 
-## Installation
+## 🚀 Usage
 
-Use `pip` to install this package:
+Use `apt` to install required system packages and `pip` to install the package.
+You may need to use `root` privileges to use `apt`. It's highly recommended you
+use `venv` or another Python virtual environment. Here are the commands to
+install the latest version of the library:
 
 ```bash
+apt install libmagic1-dev libolm-dev
 python -m pip install git+https://git.tyukalov.su/nikita/mab@v0.4.0
 ```
 
-You should specify package version you want to use, because `main` without tags
+`libmagic1-dev` is needed for automatic file MIME type detection, `libolm-dev`
-contain unstable code.
+is needed for E2EE to work.
 
-## Basic usage
+Please inspect [`examples/shell_bot.py`](examples/shell_bot.py),
+[`examples/echo_bot.py`](examples/echo_bot.py) or open [`examples/`](examples/)
+directory to find usage examples. Examples require that you set
+`MATRIX_HOMESERVER` and `MATRIX_USERNAME` environment variables. Examples create
+`session_storage` directory in working directory.
 
-This is the most simple bot you can create. It would respond to any message
+## 🏷️ Versioning
-that contains `hello` and `hi` words.
 
-```python
+Releases are tagged in this repository using the `vX.Y.Z` format. If the commit
-import asyncio
+is not tagged, it must be treated as versionless and should not be used for your
-from pathlib import Path
+application.
-from mab import MatrixBot, MatrixBotConfig
+- `X` **(Major)**: Breaking architectiral changes or complete rewrites. Existing
-from mab import TextContainsFilter, SenderIsBotFilter
+  code will break. Note that `0.Y.Z` versions are considered **very unstable**,
-from mab.types import RoomEventData
+  the API may change at any time and some features do not work as expected.
+- `Y` **(Minor)**: Breaking API changes, feature removals, or behavioral
+  modifications. Existing code will likely break.
+- `Z` **(Patch)**: Backward-compatible feature additions, bug fixes, or internal
+  changes. Existing code will not break.
