 # riverguile
 
 Scripting layer for the [river](https://github.com/riverwm/river) Wayland
-server using [Guile Scheme](https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/).
+server using [Guile Scheme](https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/). Send commands

-Send commands to river and install handlers for various events, inclusing
-layout events.
+The ultimate aim of giverguile is to allow comfortable scripting in the context
+of desktop operations, including window management.
 
-Uppon launch, riverguile tries to load a scheme script and checks the following
-paths for it in the given order:
+> "So, the UNIX philosophy is nice and all, but I wish I could script my desktop
+> in a way that's a bit more integrated and less hacky."
 
-* `layout.scm`
-* `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/river/layout.scm`
-* `$HOME/.config/river/layout.scm`
-* `/etc/riverguile/layout.scm`
+Do you agree with that statement? Do you like Lisp / Scheme? Do you believe
+policy over mechanism is the only sane way to design a scripting API? Then
+riverguile might be what you want!
 
-In the context of this script, a special procedure `(install-handler key proc)`
-is available, which can be used to install handlers to certain events.
-Check the man page for more information.
-
-Here is an example `layout.scm` file replicating rivertiles behavior of having
-a main window and a stack of windows aside while also automatically locking
-the screen after five minutes of inactivity.
+Riverguile follows river development closely, exposing new functionality as
+scheme procedures and advocating for even more scripting features. Right now,
+riverguile is implemented as an interpreter for river init scripts.
