-Charm is a state management library based on an approach to reactive programming called [fine-grained reactivity](https://dev.to/ryansolid/a-hands-on-introduction-to-fine-grained-reactivity-3ndf). Store your game's state in signals, and your code will stay in sync with the data it depends on.
+Charm is a state management library that brings the concept of [fine-grained reactivity](https://dev.to/ryansolid/a-hands-on-introduction-to-fine-grained-reactivity-3ndf) to Roblox. Connect behavior to data with reactive signals, ensuring games stay up-to-date with their underlying data while eliminating the need for manual updates.

-- Derive new values with [computed signals](#computedgetter): memoized functions with automatic dependency tracking

 Accessing the signal's value in an effect or computed signal will subscribe to it as a dependency. Changing the value will immediately notify every effect and computed signal that depends on the signal, ensuring all of your state is correct and up-to-date.
