 ## Usage
 
-Use TypeScript for best in class intellisense
+`@design.estate/dees-comms` facilitates communication within the DOM, especially between various workers and tabs in client-side JavaScript. Using TypeScript and the provided ESM syntax will enhance your development experience with better intellisense support and type safety.
 
-## Contribution
+### Setting Up
 
-We are always happy for code contributions. If you are not the code contributing type that is ok. Still, maintaining Open Source repositories takes considerable time and thought. If you like the quality of what we do and our modules are useful to you we would appreciate a little monthly contribution: You can [contribute one time](https://lossless.link/contribute-onetime) or [contribute monthly](https://lossless.link/contribute). :)
+First, make sure to import the module in your TypeScript file:
 
-For further information read the linked docs at the top of this readme.
+```typescript
+import { DeesComms } from '@design.estate/dees-comms';
+```
 
-> MIT licensed | **©** [Lossless GmbH](https://lossless.gmbh)
+### Initializing the Communication Module
-| By using this npm module you agree to our [privacy policy](https://lossless.gmbH/privacy)
 
-[![repo-footer](https://lossless.gitlab.io/publicrelations/repofooter.svg)](https://maintainedby.lossless.com)
+Create an instance of the `DeesComms` class to start using the module. This instance will act as the central communication hub in your application.
+
+```typescript
+const myDeesComms = new DeesComms();
+```
+
+### Sending Messages
+
+To send messages, you'll need to create a typed request. Let's assume we are sending a message that requires a response:
+
+```typescript
+// Define the message type
+interface MyMessageType {
+  method: 'myMethod';
+  someData: string;
+}
+
+// Creating a typed request
+const myTypedRequest = myDeesComms.createTypedRequest<MyMessageType>('myMethod');
+
+// Firing the request
+myTypedRequest.fire({
+  someData: 'Hello, World!',
+}).then(response => {
+  console.log('Received response:', response);
+});
+```
+
+### Receiving and Handling Messages
+
+To handle incoming messages, you need to define handlers for the types of messages you expect to receive. 
+
+```typescript
+// Define the handler for the 'myMethod' message
+myDeesComms.createTypedHandler<MyMessageType>('myMethod', async (incomingMessage) => {
+  console.log('Message received:', incomingMessage);
+  
+  // Process the incoming message...
+  
+  // Return a response (if needed)
+  return {
+    response: 'Message received loud and clear!'
+  };
+});
+```
+
+### Communication Between Tabs or Workers
+
+`@design.estate/dees-comms` uses the Broadcast Channel API and a polyfill for environments where it's not available, enabling seamless communication between different contexts like tabs, iframes, or web workers.
+
+### Clean Up
+
+When you're done with communication, or before creating a new instance for any reason, ensure you clean up properly to prevent memory leaks or other unexpected behaviors:
+
+```typescript
+// Currently, the cleanup should be handled according to the specific needs of your application
+// e.g., closing or nullifying references to the DeesComms instance.
+```
+
+### Complete Example
+
+Putting it all together, let's create a small application that sends a message and listens for a response:
+
+```typescript
+import { DeesComms } from '@design.estate/dees-comms';
+
+const appDeesComms = new DeesComms();
+
+// Setting up the listener
+appDeesComms.createTypedHandler<{ method: 'greet'; name: string }>('greet', async (message) => {
+  console.log(`Greetings received from ${message.name}`);
+  return { reply: `Hello ${message.name}, nice to meet you!` };
+});
+
+// Sending a greeting message
+const greetRequest = appDeesComms.createTypedRequest<{ method: 'greet'; name: string }>('greet');
+greetRequest.fire({ name: 'Alice' }).then(response => {
+  console.log(response.reply); // Expected output: "Hello Alice, nice to meet you!"
+});
+```
+
+This module provides a powerful and flexible way to handle communications within the DOM, leveraging modern JavaScript features and patterns. The usage of TypeScript ensures type safety and enhances code understandability and maintainability.
