 ## Install
+To install `@push.rocks/taskbuffer`, use the following npm command:
 
-```sh
-npm install taskbuffer --save
+```bash
+npm install @push.rocks/taskbuffer --save
 ```
 
-## Concepts
+This will add `@push.rocks/taskbuffer` to your project's dependencies, allowing you to use it within your TypeScript project.
 
-### class `Task`
+## Usage
+`@push.rocks/taskbuffer` offers a versatile way to manage tasks in your application. Whether you need simple asynchronous task execution, buffered tasks to limit concurrent executions, or more complex scenarios involving task chaining and parallel execution, `@push.rocks/taskbuffer` has got you covered. Below, you'll find detailed examples showcasing the module's capabilities and how to use them in TypeScript.
 
-- A Task in its most simple form is a function that is executed when the task runs.
-- A Task can have a **preTask** and an **afterTask**
-  (those are run before or after the main function whenever the task is called)
-- A Task can be buffered.
-  That means it can be called multiple times in a very short time.
-  However execution happens in line:
-  meaning execution of the task's main function is on halt until the previous task call has finished.
-  You can set bufferMax number, which is the max number of buffered task calls.
-  Any additional calls will then be truncated
-- Task.trigger() and Task.triggerBuffered() always return a Promise
-  which is fullfilled once the related task call has completed.
-- Task.triggered() is an Observable stream that emits events every time a task call is called and every time a call is completed.
-- Task is compatible to gulp streams.
+### Basic Task Execution
+To create and run a simple task:
 
-### class `TaskChain`
+```typescript
+import { Task } from '@push.rocks/taskbuffer';
 
-- TaskChain extends Task.
-- Multiple Tasks can be combined in a bigger task using a TaskChain.
-- While the tasks are async in themselve, TaskChain **runs Tasks serialized** (one after the other)
-- that means that tasks can rely on each other and
-
-### class `TaskParallel`
-
-- TaskParallel extends Task.
-- like TaskChain, however **tasks run in parallel**
-- Tasks cannot rely on each other.
-
-### Usage
-
-We highly recommend TypeScript as this module supports **TypeScript intellisense**.
-
-```javascript
-import * as taskbuffer from "taskbuffer";
-
-myTask = new taskbuffer.Task({
-  preTask: someOtherTask // optional, don't worry loops are prevented
-  afterTask: someOtherTask // optional, don't worry loops are prevented
-  name:"myTask1",
-  buffered: true, // optional
-  bufferMax: 3, // optional, call qeues greater than this are truncated
-  execDelay: 1000, // optional, time in ms to wait before executing task call
-  taskFunction:() => {
-    // do some stuff and return promise
-    // pass on any data through promise resolution
-    // Use TypeScript for better understanding and code completion
+const simpleTask = new Task({
+  name: 'SimpleTask',
+  taskFunction: async () => {
+    console.log('Executing a simple task');
+    // Perform your task here (e.g., fetch data from an API)
   }
-})
+});
+
+// Trigger the task
+simpleTask.trigger();
 ```

+### Buffered Task Execution
+Buffered tasks allow you to throttle task executions, for example, to avoid overwhelming a server with simultaneous requests:
 
-[![repo-footer](https://pushrocks.gitlab.io/assets/repo-footer.svg)](https://push.rocks)
+```typescript
+import { Task } from '@push.rocks/taskbuffer';
+
+const bufferedTask = new Task({
+  name: 'BufferedTask',
+  taskFunction: async () => {
+    // Task implementation
+    console.log('Buffered task execution');
+  },
+  buffered: true,
+  bufferMax: 3 // Maximum number of concurrent executions
+});
+
+// Trigger the task multiple times
+bufferedTask.trigger();
+bufferedTask.trigger();
+bufferedTask.trigger();
+bufferedTask.trigger();
+```
+
+In this scenario, only three instances of `bufferedTask` will run concurrently, thanks to the buffer settings.
+
+### Task Chains
+Task chains are a powerful feature that allows you to execute tasks in a specified order:
+
+```typescript
+import { Task, Taskchain } from '@push.rocks/taskbuffer';
+
+const firstTask = new Task({
+  name: 'FirstTask',
+  taskFunction: async () => {
+    console.log('First task execution');
+    // First task logic
+  }
+});
+
+const secondTask = new Task({
+  name: 'SecondTask',
+  taskFunction: async () => {
+    console.log('Second task execution');
+    // Second task logic
+  }
+});
+
+const taskChain = new Taskchain({
+  name: 'MyTaskChain',
+  taskArray: [firstTask, secondTask] // Tasks will be executed in the order they are provided
+});
+
+// Trigger the task chain
+taskChain.trigger();
+```
+
+### Parallel Task Execution
+To run tasks in parallel, use `Taskparallel`:
+
+```typescript
+import { Task, Taskparallel } from '@push.rocks/taskbuffer';
+
+const taskOne = new Task({
+  name: 'TaskOne',
+  taskFunction: async () => {
+    // Task one logic
+    console.log('Task one execution');
+  }
+});
+
+const taskTwo = new Task({
+  name: 'TaskTwo',
+  taskFunction: async () => {
+    // Task two logic
+    console.log('Task two execution');
+  }
+});
+
+const parallelTask = new Taskparallel({
+  taskArray: [taskOne, taskTwo] // These tasks will be executed in parallel
+});
+
+// Trigger the parallel tasks
+parallelTask.trigger();
+```
+
+### Task Scheduling with Task Manager
+`@push.rocks/taskbuffer` also provides a `TaskManager` to schedule tasks using cron expressions:
+
+```typescript
+import { Task, TaskManager } from '@push.rocks/taskbuffer';
+
+const scheduledTask = new Task({
+  name: 'ScheduledTask',
+  taskFunction: async () => {
+    console.log('Scheduled task execution');
+    // Task logic here
+  }
+});
+
+const taskManager = new TaskManager();
+taskManager.addAndScheduleTask(scheduledTask, '0 * * * * *'); // Execute task at the start of every minute
+
+// Start the task manager to enable the scheduled execution
+taskManager.start();
+```
+
+### Advanced Use Cases
+The flexibility of `@push.rocks/taskbuffer` allows for more sophisticated task management scenarios. You can combine the features mentioned above to fit your specific needs, such as chaining parallel tasks, dynamically adding tasks to a manager or chain based on conditions, and much more.
+
+`@push.rocks/taskbuffer` leverages TypeScript's advanced typing features to provide you with clear and predictable APIs, making it easier to build and maintain complex task management logic within your application.
+
