+## About
+A Blender add-on to create add-ons! This add-on will take your Geometry Nodes or Materials and convert them into legible Python add-ons!
+
+It automatically handles node layout, default values, subgroups, naming, colors, and more! 
+
+I think Blender's node-based editors are powerful, yet accessible tools, and I wanted to make scripting them easier for add-on creators. Combining Python with node based setups allows you to do things that would otherwise be tedious or impossible, such as
+* `for` loops
+* creating different node trees for different versions or settings
+* interfacing with other parts of the software or properties of an object
+
+NodeToPython recreates the node networks for you, so you can focus on the good stuff. 
+
+## Supported Versions
+NodeToPython v2.0 is compatible with Blender 3.0 - 3.4 on Windows, macOS, and Linux. I generally try to update the addon to handle new nodes around the beta release of each update.
+
+## Installation
+1. Download the .zip file from the [latest release](https://github.com/BrendanParmer/NodeToPython/releases)
+2. In Blender, navigate to `Edit > Preferences > Add-ons`
+3. Click Install, and find where you downloaded the zip file. Then hit the `Install Add-on` button, and you're done!
+
+## Usage
+Once you've installed the add-on, you'll see a new tab in any Node Editor's sidebar. You can open this with keyboard shortcut `N` when focused in the Node Editor.
+
+In the tab, there's panels to create add-ons for Geometry Nodes and Materials, each with a drop-down menu. 
+
+![Add-on Location](./img/location.png "Add-on Location")
+
+Just select the one you want, and soon a zip file will be created in an `addons` folder located in the folder where your blend file is.
+
+From here, you can install it like a regular add-on.
+
+## Future
+* Expansion to Compositing nodes
+* Add all referenced assets to the Asset Library for use outside of the original blend file
+* Auto-set handle movies and image sequences
+* Automatically format code to be PEP8 compliant
+* Automatically detect the minimum version of Blender needed to run the add-on
+
+## Potential Issues
+* As of version 2.0.0, the add-on will not set default values for
+    * Scripts
+    * IES files
+    * Filepaths
+    * UV maps
+* Currently when setting default values for the following, the add-on must be run in the same blend file as the node group was created in to set the default, otherwise it will just set it to `None`:
+    * Materials
+    * Objects
+    * Collections
+    * Textures
+
+* In a future version, I plan on having the add-on adding all of the above to the Asset Library for reference
+
+## Bug Reports and Suggestions
+
+When submitting an issue, please include 
+
+* Your version of Blender
+* Your operating system
+* A short description of what you were trying to accomplish, or steps to reproduce the issue.
+* Sample blend files are more than welcome!
+
+Suggestions for how to improve the add-on are more than welcome!
