 PR to upstream: <https://github.com/ccd0/4chan-x/pull/3341>.
 
-The 4chan XT project is a migration of 4chan X from coffeescript to TypeScript/JavaScript. It is named XT both as a continuation of eXTended, and a T for TypeScript. The goals of this project is to first get a working bundle from js/ts files, and then gradually convert js files to ts and add types as needed.
+## What is this?
+
+This is a fork of [4chan X](github.com/ccd0/4chan-x) that aims to make it more modern, and easier to maintain.
+
+## Why?
+
+4chan X is a great extension, but it's a bit old. It uses a lot of old technologies, and it's a bit hard to maintain. This fork aims to make it easier to maintain, and more modern.
