-# Fedi Feed Router
+# Fedi Feed Router (FFR) v1.0.0
 
 <div align="center">
 <img src="backend/public/images/ffr-logo-600.png" alt="FFR Logo" width="200">
+
+**A minimal working version — limited to two hardcoded sources, designed for self-hosters.**  
+*Future versions will expand configurability and support.*
 </div>
 
-`ffr` is a self-hosted tool for routing content from RSS/Atom feeds to the fediverse.
+---
 
-It watches feeds, matches entries based on keywords or rules, and publishes them to platforms like Lemmy, Mastodon, or anything ActivityPub-compatible.
+## 🔰 Project Overview
 
-## Features
+**One-liner:** FFR routes content from RSS/Atom feeds to the fediverse based on keyword matching.
 
-- Keyword-based routing from any RSS/Atom feed
+FFR is a self-hosted tool that monitors RSS/Atom feeds, filters articles based on keywords, and automatically publishes matching content to fediverse platforms like Lemmy. This v1.0.0 release provides a working foundation with two hardcoded news sources (CBC and BBC), designed specifically for self-hosters who want a simple, privacy-first solution without SaaS dependencies.
-- Publish to Lemmy, Mastodon, or other fediverse services
-- YAML or JSON route configs
-- CLI and/or daemon mode
-- Self-hosted, privacy-first, no SaaS dependencies
 
+## ⚙️ Features
 
-## Docker Deployment
+Current v1.0.0 features:
+- ✅ Fetches articles from two hardcoded RSS feeds (CBC News, BBC News)
+- ✅ Keyword-based content filtering and matching
+- ✅ Automatic posting to Lemmy communities
+- ✅ Web dashboard for monitoring and management
+- ✅ Docker-based deployment for easy self-hosting
+- ✅ Privacy-first design with no external dependencies
 
-### Building the Image
+Limitations (to be addressed in future versions):
+- Feed sources are currently hardcoded (not user-configurable)
+- Only supports Lemmy as target platform
+- Basic keyword matching (no regex or complex rules yet)

 ```
 
-### Docker Compose
+View application logs:
-
+```bash
-Create a `docker-compose.yml` file:
+docker compose logs -f app

-### Environment Variables
+### Scheduled Tasks
 
-Create a `.env` file with:
+The application automatically:
+- Fetches new articles every hour
+- Publishes matching articles every 5 minutes
+- Syncs with Lemmy communities every 10 minutes
 
+## 📜 Logging & Debugging
+
+**Log locations:**
+- Application logs: Available in web dashboard under "Logs" section
+- Docker logs: `docker compose logs -f app`
+- Laravel logs: Inside container at `/var/www/html/backend/storage/logs/`
+
+**Debug mode:**
+To enable debug mode for troubleshooting, add to your `.env`:
 ```env
-# Database Settings
+APP_DEBUG=true
-DB_DATABASE=lemmy_poster
-DB_USERNAME=lemmy_user
-DB_PASSWORD=your-password
-
-# Lemmy Settings
-LEMMY_INSTANCE=your-lemmy-instance.com
-LEMMY_USERNAME=your-lemmy-username
-LEMMY_PASSWORD=your-lemmy-password
-LEMMY_COMMUNITY=your-target-community
 ```
+⚠️ Remember to disable debug mode in production!
 
-### Deployment
+## 🤝 Contributing
 
-1. Build and push the image to your registry
+We welcome contributions! Here's how you can help:
-2. Copy the docker-compose.yml to your server
-3. Create the .env file with your environment variables
-4. Run: `docker compose up -d`
 
-The application will automatically:
+1. **Report bugs:** Open an issue describing the problem
-- Wait for the database to be ready
+2. **Suggest features:** Create an issue with your idea
-- Run database migrations on first startup
+3. **Submit PRs:** Fork, create a feature branch, and submit a pull request
-- Start the queue worker after migrations complete
+4. **Improve docs:** Documentation improvements are always appreciated
-- Handle race conditions between web and queue containers
 
-### Initial Setup
+For development setup, see the [Development Setup](#development-setup) section below.
 
-After deployment, the article refresh will run every hour. To trigger the initial article fetch manually:
+## 📘 License
 
-```bash
+This project is licensed under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 (AGPLv3).  
-docker compose exec app-web php artisan article:refresh
+See [LICENSE](LICENSE) file for details.
-```
 
-The application will then automatically:
+## 🧭 Roadmap
-- Fetch new articles every hour
-- Publish valid articles every 5 minutes
-- Sync community posts every 10 minutes
 
-The web interface will be available on port 8000.
+### v1.0.0 (Current Release)
+- ✅ Basic feed fetching from hardcoded sources
+- ✅ Keyword filtering
+- ✅ Lemmy posting
+- ✅ Web dashboard
+- ✅ Docker deployment
 
-### Architecture
+### v2.0.0 (Planned)
+- [ ] User-configurable feed sources
+- [ ] Advanced filtering rules (regex, boolean logic)
+- [ ] Support for Mastodon and other ActivityPub platforms
+- [ ] API for external integrations
+- [ ] Multi-user support with permissions
 
-The application uses a multi-container setup:
+### v3.0.0 (Future)
-- **app-web**: Serves the Laravel web interface and handles HTTP requests
+- [ ] Machine learning-based content categorization
-- **app-queue**: Processes background jobs (article fetching, Lemmy posting)
+- [ ] Feed discovery and recommendations
-- **mysql**: Database storage for articles, logs, and application data
+- [ ] Scheduled posting with optimal timing
+- [ ] Analytics and insights dashboard
 
-Both app containers use the same Docker image but with different commands (`web` or `queue`). Environment variables are passed from your `.env` file to configure database access and Lemmy integration.
