-## 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
-  }
-})
 ```
 
-For further information read the linked docs at the top of this README.
+This will add `@push.rocks/taskbuffer` to your project's dependencies, allowing you to use it within your TypeScript project.
 
-> MIT licensed | **©** [Lossless GmbH](https://lossless.gmbh)
+## 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.
 
-[![repo-footer](https://pushrocks.gitlab.io/assets/repo-footer.svg)](https://push.rocks)
+### Basic Task Execution
+To create and run a simple task:
 
+```typescript
+import { Task } from '@push.rocks/taskbuffer';
 
-## Contribution
+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)
+  }
+});
 
-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). :)
+// Trigger the task
+simpleTask.trigger();
+```
 
-For further information read the linked docs at the top of this readme.
+This basic example creates a task that prints a message to the console when executed.
 
-> MIT licensed | **©** [Lossless GmbH](https://lossless.gmbh)
+### Buffered Task Execution
-| By using this npm module you agree to our [privacy policy](https://lossless.gmbH/privacy)
+Buffered tasks allow you to throttle task executions, for example, to avoid overwhelming a server with simultaneous requests:
 
-[![repo-footer](https://lossless.gitlab.io/publicrelations/repofooter.svg)](https://maintainedby.lossless.com)
+```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.
+
+For further information and advanced configurations, please refer to the [official documentation](https://gitlab.com/pushrocks/taskbuffer).
