-## Development
-
-By contributing to this project you agree to the following:
-
- All code must be tested using `gosec`.
- All code must be formatted with `gofmt`.
- All code must be documented.

 ## Communication

-Feel free to join our seperate matrix channel for this implementation.
+Feel free to join our telegram or matrix channels for this implementation.

 ## Usage of LLMs and other Generative AI tools

-We would prefer if you did not use LLMs and other generative AI tools to write critical parts of the code.
+You should not use LLMs and other generative AI tools to write critical parts of the code. They can produce lots of security issues and outdated code when used incorrectly. You are not required to report that you are using these tools.

+## Goals

-[Reticulum Network](https://github.com/markqvist/Reticulum) implementation in Go `1.24+`.
+- To be fully compatible with the Python reference implementation.
+- Additional privacy and security features.
+- Support for a broader range of platforms and architectures old and new.

-Aiming to be fully compatible with the Python version. 
+## Quick Start

-## Usage
+### Prerequisites

-Requires Go 1.24+
+- Go 1.24 or later

-```
-make install
+### Build
+
+```bash
 make build
+```
+
+### Run
+
+```bash
 make run
 ```

-## Linter
-
-[Revive](https://github.com/mgechev/revive)
+### Test

 ```bash
-revive -config revive.toml -formatter friendly ./pkg/* ./cmd/* ./internal/*
+make test
 ```

-## External Packages
+## Embedded systems and WebAssembly

- `golang.org/x/crypto` `v0.39.0` - Cryptographic primitives
+For building for WebAssembly and embedded systems, see the [tinygo branch](https://github.com/Sudo-Ivan/Reticulum-Go/tree/tinygo). Requires TinyGo 0.37.0+.
+
+```bash
+make tinygo-build
+make tinygo-wasm
+```
+
+### Experimental Features
+
+Build with experimental Green Tea GC (Go 1.25+):
+
+```bash
+make build-experimental
+```
