-## For manual gdb/gdbserver compilation instructions, have a look at the compilation.md file
+## TL;DR
 
-## Compiling gdb using docker
+- **Download**: Get the latest release from the [releases page](https://github.com/guyush1/gdb-static/releases/latest).
 
-This repository contains a dockerfile and build scripts to compile gdb and gdbserver statically for multiple architectures.
-Currently, the supported architectures are:
-- x86_64
-- arm
-- aarch64
-- powerpc (32bit)
-You can easily expand it to support more architectures by adding the appropriate cross compilers to the dockerfile, and other build scripts.
+## Introduction
 
-NOTE: You don't need to interact with the dockerfile directly, as the Makefile will take care of everything for you.
+Who doesn't love GDB? It's such a powerful tool, with such a great package.  
+But sometimes, you run into one of these problems:
+- You can't install GDB on your machine
+- You can't install an updated version of GDB on your machine
+- Some other strange embedded reasons...
 
-### Building for a specific architecture
+This is where `gdb-static` comes in! We provide static builds of `gdb` (and `gdbserver` of course), so you can run them on any machine, without any dependencies!
+
+<details open>
+<summary>
+ Features
+</summary> <br />
+
+- **Static Builds**: No dependencies, no installation, just download and run!
+- **Latest Versions**: We keep our builds up-to-date with the latest versions of GDB.
+- **Builtin Python**: Our builds come with Python support built-in.
+- **Wide Architecture Support**: We support a wide range of architectures:
+  - aarch64
+  - arm
+  - mips
+  - mipsel
+  - powerpc
+  - x86_64
+

+
+## Usage 
+
+To get started with `gdb-static`, simply download the build for your architecture from the [releases page](https://github.com/guyush1/gdb-static/releases/latest), extract the archive, and copy the binary to your desired platform.
+
+You may choose to copy the `gdb` binary to the platform, or use `gdbserver` to debug remtoely.
+
+## Development
+
+Alternatively, you can build `gdb-static` from source. To do so, follow the instructions below:

+Pre-requisites

+To be able to build `gdb-static`, you will need the following tools installed on your machine:

+Building for a specific architecture
+</summary> <br />
+
+To build `gdb-static` for a specific architecture, run the following command:
 
-To build for a specific architecture, you can use the following command:
 ```bash
 make build-<ARCH>
 ```
 
-For example, to build for arm:
-```bash
-make build-arm
-```
+Where `<ARCH>` is the architecture you want to build for.
 
-The resulting binaries will be placed under the `build/artifacts/` directory.
-Each architecture will have its own directory under `build/artifacts/`. For example, the arm architecture will have the following directory structure:
-```
+The resulting binary will be placed in the `build/artifacts/` directory:
+
+```bash
 build/
-    artifacts/
-        arm/
-            ...
+└── artifacts/
+    └── <ARCH>/
+        └── ...
 ```

-To build for all architectures, you can use the following command:
 ```bash
 make build
 ```
 
-### Cleaning the build
+The resulting binary will be placed in the `build/artifacts/` directory.
 
-To clean the build, you can use the following command:
-```bash
-make clean
-```
