-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). :)
+## What It Does
 
-For further information read the linked docs at the top of this readme.
+`@push.rocks/smartmarkdown` is intentionally focused:
 
-> MIT licensed | **©** [Lossless GmbH](https://lossless.gmbh)
+- Convert Markdown strings to HTML.
-| By using this npm module you agree to our [privacy policy](https://lossless.gmbH/privacy)
+- Parse YAML frontmatter into a JavaScript object.
+- Preserve access to the original Markdown source.
+- Convert HTML strings back to Markdown using ATX headings and fenced code blocks.
+- Support GitHub-flavored Markdown through `remark-gfm` and `turndown-plugin-gfm`.
 
-[![repo-footer](https://lossless.gitlab.io/publicrelations/repofooter.svg)](https://maintainedby.lossless.com)
+## Quick Start
+
+```typescript
+import { SmartMarkdown } from '@push.rocks/smartmarkdown';
+
+const html = await SmartMarkdown.easyMarkdownToHtml(`# Hello Markdown
+
+- fast
+- typed
+- practical
+`);
+
+console.log(html);
+// <h1>Hello Markdown</h1>
+// <ul>
+// <li>fast</li>
+// <li>typed</li>
+// <li>practical</li>
+// </ul>
+```
+
+## API
+
+### `SmartMarkdown.easyMarkdownToHtml(markdown)`
+
+Static convenience method for the most common path: Markdown in, HTML out.
+
+```typescript
+import { SmartMarkdown } from '@push.rocks/smartmarkdown';
+
+const html = await SmartMarkdown.easyMarkdownToHtml('# Hi!');
+
+console.log(html);
+// <h1>Hi!</h1>
+```
+
+### `new SmartMarkdown().getMdParsedResultFromMarkdown(markdown)`
+
+Parses a Markdown string into an `MdParsedResult` instance.
+
+```typescript
+import { SmartMarkdown } from '@push.rocks/smartmarkdown';
+
+const smartMarkdown = new SmartMarkdown();
+
+const result = await smartMarkdown.getMdParsedResultFromMarkdown(`---
+title: Smart Docs
+published: true
+tags:
+  - markdown
+  - docs
+---
+
+# Smart Docs
+
+Markdown with metadata.
+`);
+
+console.log(result.originalString); // the original Markdown input
+console.log(result.html); // rendered HTML
+console.log(result.frontmatterData); // { title: 'Smart Docs', published: true, tags: ['markdown', 'docs'] }
+```
+
+The returned object exposes:
+
+- `originalString`: the Markdown input string.
+- `html`: the rendered HTML output.
+- `frontmatterData`: parsed YAML frontmatter as `Record<string, unknown>`.
+- `title`: currently initialized as an empty string for consumers that want to attach title metadata.
+
+### `new SmartMarkdown().htmlToMarkdown(html)`
+
+Converts HTML back to Markdown using Turndown with GitHub-flavored Markdown support.
+
+```typescript
+import { SmartMarkdown } from '@push.rocks/smartmarkdown';
+
+const smartMarkdown = new SmartMarkdown();
+
+const markdown = smartMarkdown.htmlToMarkdown(`
+<h1 id="hello">Hello</h1>
+<p>This came from HTML.</p>
+<ul>
+  <li>tables, strikethrough, and task lists are handled through GFM support</li>
+</ul>
+`);
+
+console.log(markdown);
+// # Hello
+//
+// This came from HTML.
+```
+
+## Frontmatter
+
+Frontmatter is detected with `remark-frontmatter` and parsed through `@push.rocks/smartyaml`.
+
+```typescript
+import { SmartMarkdown } from '@push.rocks/smartmarkdown';
+
+const smartMarkdown = new SmartMarkdown();
+
+const result = await smartMarkdown.getMdParsedResultFromMarkdown(`---
+layout: guide
+draft: false
+order: 10
+---
+
+# Guide
+`);
+
+console.log(result.frontmatterData.layout); // 'guide'
+console.log(result.frontmatterData.draft); // false
+console.log(result.frontmatterData.order); // 10
+```
+
+If no frontmatter block is present, `frontmatterData` is an empty object.
+
+## Markdown Features
+
+Markdown parsing uses:
+
+- `remark-parse` for Markdown parsing.
+- `remark-gfm` for GitHub-flavored Markdown.
+- `remark-frontmatter` for YAML/TOML frontmatter detection.
+- `remark-html` for HTML output.
+
+HTML-to-Markdown conversion uses:
+
+- `turndown` with `headingStyle: 'atx'`.
+- `turndown` with `codeBlockStyle: 'fenced'`.
+- `turndown-plugin-gfm` for GitHub-flavored Markdown output.
+
+## TypeScript and ESM
+
+This package ships as an ES module and includes TypeScript declarations.
+
+```typescript
+import { SmartMarkdown } from '@push.rocks/smartmarkdown';
+```
+
+The package export points to the built ESM entrypoint and is ready for TypeScript, Node.js ESM, and bundler-based frontend projects.
