-the initial version of next-yak will only work for next.js
+**next-yak** is a CSS-in-JS solution tailored for [Next.js](https://nextjs.org/) that seamlessly combines the expressive power of styled-components syntax with efficient build-time extraction of CSS using Next.js's built-in CSS configuration.

+## Getting Started
+
+Try it on [stackblitz](https://stackblitz.com/edit/stackblitz-starters-dfykqy?file=app%2Fpage.tsx)
+
+### Locally
+
+1. Install **next-yak** in your Next.js project.
+
+2. Add next-yak to your `next.config.js`:
+
 ```js
 // next.config.js
-const { withYak } = require("next-yak");
+const { withYak } = require("next-yak/withYak");
 
 const nextConfig = {
   // your next.js config
@@ -47,6 +52,109 @@ const nextConfig = {
 module.exports = withYak(nextConfig);
 ```
 
+3. Ready to go:
+
+```jsx
+// pages/index.js
+import { styled } from 'next-yak';
+
+const StyledDiv = styled.div`
+  color: #333;
+  padding: 16px;
+  background-color: #f0f0f0;
+`;
+
+function HomePage() {
+  return <StyledDiv>Hello, next-yak!</StyledDiv>;
+}
+
+export default HomePage;
+```
+
+## More Examples
+
+### Dynamic Styles
+
+Dynamic Styles will only toggle the css class during runtime:
+
+```jsx
+import { styled, css } from 'next-yak';
+
+const ToggleButton = styled.button`
+  ${props => props.$active
+     ? css`background-color: green`
+     : css`background-color: lime`
+  };
+  color: white;
+  padding: 10px 20px;
+`;

+
+### Dynamic Properties
+
+Dynamic Properties use custom properties ([aka css variables](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Using_CSS_custom_properties)) under the hood to extract the CSS at built time but modify properties at runtime:
+
+```jsx
+import { styled } from 'next-yak';
+
+const ProgressBar = styled.div`
+  width: ${props => `${props.$percent}%`};
+  height: 20px;
+  background-color: #3498db;
+  transition: width 0.3s ease-in-out;
+`;
+
+const ProgressBarContainer = styled.div`
+  border: 1px solid #ccc;
+`;
+
+const ExampleComponent = () => {
+  const progress = 75; // You can dynamically set this value
+
+  return (
+    <ProgressBarContainer>
+      <ProgressBar $percent={progress} />
+    </ProgressBarContainer>
+  );
+};
+```

+
+### Targeting Components
+
+In next-yak, you can target other components directly using CSS selectors as long as they are **in the same file**:
+
+```jsx
+import { styled, keyframes } from 'next-yak';
+
+const flip = keyframes`
+  from { transform: rotateY(0deg); }
+  to { transform: rotateY(360deg); }
+`;
+
+const Glow = styled.div`
+  /* Add your Glow component styles here */
+`;
+
+const Text = styled.span`
+  display: inline-block;
+  ${Glow}:hover & {
+    animation: 1.5s ${flip} ease-out;
+  }
+`;
+
+const ExampleComponent = () => {
+  return (
+    <Glow>
+      <Text>This text will flip on hover.</Text>
+    </Glow>
+  );
+};
+```
