-Generally this app logs how and when you interact with the app and sometimes, which values you enter. 
-No logs are being sent to anybody automatically, you can choose to attach the log file to the bug report.
-This helps the devs a lot, as they can better understand the state of the app as it crashed. The logs are

-		THIS SOFWARE FALLS UNDER THE GPL V3 LICENSE AND AS SUCH COMES WITH
+BiogasControllerApp has just received a major rewrite, where I focused on code-readability, documentation and stability. The documentation in the code is aimed at beginners and does contain some unnecessary extra comments
-		ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY!
 
-***LOOKING FOR A MacOS BUILD MAINTAINER! You may follow the official build instructions on the kivy.org website. All other materials should already be included in this repository***
+If you are here to read the code, the files you are most likely looking for can be found in the `lib` folder. If you want to understand and have a look at all of the application, start with the `biogascontrollerapp.py` file
 
-Thank you for downloading the new Version of the BiogasControllerApp! You are greeted with 
+# Installation
-lots of new features, including a new and redesigned Graphical User Interface (later "GUI")
+To install it, navigate to the releases tab on the right hand side. Click the current release, scroll down to assets and select the version appropriate for your operating system.
-and an automatic assignment of the comport on all supported Operating systems (see supported OS section). 
 
+That means:
+- on Windows, select BiogasControllerApp-Windows.zip
+- on Linux, you may download the tarball or you may also download the `install-linux.sh` script to automatically install it for you. Just note: You need to enable execute permissions for the file!
 
+Compared to older versions, the new BiogasControllerApp doesn't install itself as an app and only resides in a folder where you can launch it using the executable or the `launch.sh` script.
 
-## *FEATURE LIST*
+## Troubleshooting
-- Easily read out the data the Microcontroller used in ENATECH sends
+If you get a warning from Windows, the reason for this is that this app bundle is unsigned (since a signing certificate is about USD 350/year), so it might warn you about that. You can safely click "Run anyway" or the like to bypass that problem. 
-- Easily change the coefficients for the temperature sonds
+
-- Easily change the temperature that is set for the controller to heat to
+If this makes you uncomfortable, you may simply install python and install the necessary dependencies (see below) and run the app using Python.
-- Easy to navigate menus and submenus for better organisation
+
-- (Almost) Bugfree
+# Features
-- Detailed and still private logging (not sending any information to anybody except you do)
+- Read data the microcontroller in ENATECH sends
+- Configure the microcontroller (Coefficients & Temperature). Old settings will be pre-loaded
+- Focus on code quality and readability as well as stability
+- Tips to resolve errors directly in the app
 - The app is still maintained and as such known issues will be resolved
-- Highly detailed error resolving instructions directly inside the app 
+- Clean UI focusing on ease of use
-- Easy to run: No extra Software required (e.g. Python or similar) (currently Windows only)
+- Documented code so you can more easily understand what is happening
-- Easy to install and uninstall as it has an installer and uninstaller
-- Some settings are available through the /config/settings.ini file
 
+# Issues
+If you encounter any bugs or other weird behaviour, please open an issue on this GitHub repository, contact me on my [support page](https://support.janishutz.com) or send me an [email](mailto:development@janishutz.com)
 
+# Documentation
+You may find documentation for this project in its wiki here on GitHub. The code is also documented with explanations what it does
 
-*Officially Supported OS*
+# Officially Supported OS
-- Microsoft Windows 10, 11 (through my installer, may though support older Versions but this is not verified. Open an issue if you have managed to run it on an older version of Windows)
+- Microsoft Windows 10, 11 (through the provided compiled package, might work on older versions as well)
 - Microsoft Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10, 11 (through running the package with Python yourself)
-- MacOS 10.9 (Mavericks) or later (required by Python)
+- GNU/Linux: All distros that support Python 3.8 or later (use `install-linux.sh` to install and `launch.sh` to launch for convenience)
-- GNU/Linux: All distros that support Python 3.8 or later
+- FreeBSD: If you have Pyhton 3.8 or later installed 
-- FreeBSD: Works with slight modification of the source code 
+
-
+## Dependencies
-
+Only needed if you run with python directly
-*Required packages/programs to install the app yourself*
+- Python 3.10 - latest (only tested on this version, but should work down to at least 3.8)
-- Python 3.8 - 3.10 (only tested on these versions)
+- kivy[base]==2.3.1
-- kivy
+- kivymd==1.1.1
-- pyserial
+- pyserial==3.5
