+# Getting started
+
+You can install flyps via npm:
+
+`npm i flyps`
+
+### Create a signal
+
+`Signals` are the core principle of flyps and are used everywhere.
+
+```
+import { signal } from "flyps";
+
+const counter = signal(1);
+```
+
+### Change the value of a signal
+
+A signal can be updated via a function (`signal::update`) or replaced with a new value (`signal::reset`).
+
+```
+const counter = signal(0);           // value = 0
+counter.update(value => value + 1);  // value = 1
+counter.reset(0);                    // value = 0
+```
+
+### Render view
+
+Views can be rendered with the `mount` function.
+
+```
+import { mount } from "flyps";
+
+mount(document.querySelector("#my-view"),
+  () => "<h1>Hello World!</h1>",
+  (prev, next) => {
+    let el = htmlToElement(next);
+    prev.parentNode.replaceChild(el, prev);
+    return el;
+  },
+  prev => {
+    return prev.parentNode.removeChild(el);
+  }
+);
+```
+
+### Snabbdom rendering
+
+For more complex views we suggest to add the [flyps-dom-snabbdom] extension, which adds support for [snabbdom] rendering.
+
+First install the extension: `npm i flyps-dom-snabbdom`
+
+```
+import { mount, h } from "flyps-dom-snabbdom";
+
+mount(document.querySelector("#my-view"),
+  () => h("h1", "Hello World!")
+);
+```
+
+### Render value from signal
+```
+import { signal } from "flyps";
+import { mount, h } from "flyps-dom-snabbdom";
+
+const data = signal("Hello World!");
+
+mount(document.querySelector("#my-view"),
+  () => h("h1", data.value())
+);
+```
+
+Whenever the `signal` changes the view will be re-rendered with the new data.
+
+```
+data.reset("Hello User!");
+```
+
+### More Examples
+
+More examples can be found on our flyps [homepage].
