-## Install
-
-```sh
-npm install taskbuffer --save
-```
-
-## Concepts
-
-### class `Task`
-
-- 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.
-
-### class `TaskChain`
-
-- 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
+## Usage
 
 We highly recommend TypeScript as this module supports **TypeScript intellisense**.
