 ## 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!

+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 `NodeToPython.zip` file from the [latest release](https://github.com/BrendanParmer/NodeToPython/releases)
-    * If you download other options, you'll need to rename the zip and the first folder to "NodeToPython" so Blender can properly import the module

 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!

 From here, you can install it like a regular add-on.
 
 ## Future
+### v2.2
 * A "copy" mode, where just the functionality to build the node group is just copied to the clipbaord
+* Choose the location where to save the add-on
+
+### v2.3
 * Expansion to Compositing nodes
 * Add all referenced assets to the Asset Library for use outside of the original blend file

+### Later
 * 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
