 #### Why are Minimal Reproductions Important?
 
 A reproduction lets maintainers verify the presence of a bug, and diagnose the issue using a debugger. A _minimal_ reproduction is the smallest possible console application demonstrating that bug. Minimal reproductions are generally preferable since they:

 ### What's this?
 
-Add stuff like:
-* Pathy offers
-* what .NET, C# other versions of dependencies it supports
+Pathy is a tiny source-only library that will allow you to build file and directory paths by chaining together strings like `"c:"`, `"dir1"`, `"dir2"` using 
+
+  `ChainablePath.New() / "c:" / "dir1" / "dir2"`.  
+
+It was heavily inspired by the best build pipeline framework available in the .NET space, [Nuke](https://nuke.build/). Nuke has supported these concepts for many years, but I needed this capability outside build pipelines.  
+
+It doesn't have any dependencies and runs on .NET 4.7, .NET 8, as well as frameworks supporting .NET Standard 2.0 and 2.1. 
 
 ### What's so special about that?
 
-* What makes it different from other libraries?
-* Why did you create it.
-* What problem does it solve?
-* Mention that it is a source-only package, which just adds a C# file and doesn't create binary dependencies
+It makes those chained calls to `Path.Combine` a thing from the past and hides the ugliness of dealing with (trailing) slashes.  
+
+It ships as a source-only package, which means you can use it in your own libraries and projects, without incurring any dependency pain on your consuming projects. 
+
+The core Pathy package does not have any dependencies, and I purposely moved the [globbing](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/extensions/file-globbing#pattern-formats) functionality into a separate package as it depends on `Microsoft.Extensions.FileSystemGlobbing`.
 
 ### Who created this?
-* Something about you, your company, your team, etc.
-* How to contact you like LinkedIn, Twitter, Bluesky, Mastodon, email, etc.
