 ## Fluid PHP Framework
 
-Fluid is intended to be a tiny, fast and out-of-your-way PHP framework that just lets you get stuff done. To achieve this,
-Fluid includes only what is needed to create small to medium-sized web applications, but allows any PSR-4 compatible library
-to be added easily.
+Fluid is intended to be a tiny, fast and out-of-your-way PHP framework that just lets you get stuff done. To achieve 
+this, Fluid includes only what is needed to create small to medium-sized web applications, but allows any PSR-4 
+compatible library to be added easily for extensibility.
 
-I envision Fluid to be used mostly for fast prototyping of back-end logic and small to medium-sized actual applications.
+So why build Fluid if there's so many perfectly valid PHP frameworks already out there? Partly to see if I could and
+partly because I wanted something small, quick and comfortably to quickly build something on top of.
 
-Laravel and similar big frameworks attempt to be your buddy through every aspect of development. And I love Laravel.
-But Fluid is different - it simply attempts to provide you the shortest route to a working application. Don't get me
-wrong, it's pretty complete, but it's taking shortcuts and that's by design.
-
-Don't try to build something huge on Fluid. That's what Laravel and Symfony are for. Fluid is for smaller to medium-sized
-projects.
+Fluid isn't by any means production-ready, secure or foolproof. So only try it if you feel like filing some bug reports!
 
 ## Requirements
 
-- PHP 5.4+ (and according to php7cc, it's php7 compatible, but I haven't tried it yet!)
+- PHP 5.4+, PHP 7
 - Sense of adventure
 
 ## Documentation & More
@@ -24,50 +20,14 @@ Documentation is currently non-existent, but I am more than willing and availabl
 open to suggestions and improvements. Fluid is what I personally need in a framework, and if it seems to fit what you
 need as well 'except for these small things', I would love to hear from you to see if maybe we can't work it in somehow.

 ## Details
 
-Fluid is built on top of Devvoh Components, a package soon to be spun off into its own project, which will feature
-composer compatibility. The following components are currently in this package, all in a different state of 'done':
+Fluid probably won't ever be truly done, but the basis that stands at this point will provide a good platform to build out
+from. Perhaps dependency injection, unit tests, documentation, etc. will all make their way into it at some point.
 
-- Cli, basic functionality to build a command-line application with.
-- Curl, to interface with external addresses, very limited as of yet (get website & download file). Want to add REST
-  methods (POST/GET/UPDATE/PATCH/DELETE) at the very least.
-- Database, PDO wrapper.
-- Date, easy way of working with timezone-adjusted DateTime objects.
-- Debug, pre-tagged dumps and print_r's, with optional dies after the dump.
-- Dock, simple system to add and trigger front-end hooks.
-- GetSet, component to work with $_GET, $_POST, $_SESSION, $_COOKIE and custom resources.
-- Hook, simple system to add and trigger back-end hooks.
-- Log, simple logging library.
-- Query, relatively feature-complete SQL query builder.
-- Response, basic response object.
-- Rights, simple binary-based rights system.
-- Router, relatively feature-complete array-based router.
-- SessionMessage, works in conjunction with GetSet to offer easy session messages.

-Fluid offers most of these Components through the App::class, using lazy-load getters, offering all of the above
-as singleton instances. This keeps the load down to what you actually use.
-
-## To-do (the candid list)
-
-- Components need to be built into more complete libraries and require at least some documentation.
-- Error handling and exception throwing is woefully inadequate at the moment. This is partly because I believe that PHP's
-  default errors are clear enough for developers who would ever try Fluid and Fluid isn't really complex enough to require
-  Exceptions everywhere. My opinion on this might change in the future. For now, I've stopped implementing Exceptions
-  until I decide either way.
-- Query now only supports simple left joins, it should support more complex joins and inner joins.
-- Though PDO supports other types of databases than the default SQL ones (sqlite & mysql), Query probably doesn't,
-  since it builds for sqlite specifically (and just happens to work on mysql). Should look into at least PostgreSQL.
-- Get as much feedback and criticism as I can. Can't improve without outside critiques.
-- Keep following PSR-2 'almost', because ha-ha I like single-line accolades and I don't care what you say.
-- Fluid itself (without components) is ~30k now. I don't want to set a hard maximum since it'll get as big as it needs
-  to be but I'll be damned if it ever gets over 200k. I can't imagine it ever needing to be that big. If it does,
-  something went either very wrong or very right.
-
-And most of all, I'm just going to keep whittling away at this as time goes on.
