+AutoLinker is a basic package for turning website names into links.
+
+Use this package in your web view to convert web references into click-able links.
+
+This is a very early version. Some of the described options are not yet functional.
 
 ## Installation
 
-If [available in Hex](https://hex.pm/docs/publish), the package can be installed
-by adding `auto_linker` to your list of dependencies in `mix.exs`:
+The package can be installed by adding `auto_linker` to your list of dependencies in `mix.exs`:
 
 ```elixir
 def deps do
-  [{:auto_linker, "~> 0.1.0"}]
+  [{:auto_linker, "~> 0.1"}]
 end
 ```
 
-Documentation can be generated with [ExDoc](https://github.com/elixir-lang/ex_doc)
