-Charm is a reactive state management library designed for storing data in discrete containers called _signals_. Connect behavior to data with signals, ensuring systems stay up-to-date with their underlying data while reactivity eliminates the need for manual updates.
+Charm is a state management library based on [fine-grained reactivity](https://dev.to/ryansolid/a-hands-on-introduction-to-fine-grained-reactivity-3ndf). Connect behavior to data with reactive signals, ensuring games stay up-to-date with their underlying data while eliminating the need for manual updates.
 
 **Build game state from simple building blocks:**
 
-- Store data in [signals](#signalinitialvalue-equals): reactive state containers that hold a value
-- React to state changes with [effects](#effectcallback): re-run code when signals update
-- Derive new values from data with [computed signals](#computedgetter): memoize functions that access signals
+- Store state in [signals](#signalinitialvalue-equals): state containers that hold a value
+- React to state changes with [effects](#effectcallback): re-run code when a dependency updates
+- Derive values from state with [computed signals](#computedgetter): memoized functions with dependency tracking
