+## The problem
+
+From
+[kentcdodds/dom-testing-library#107](https://github.com/kentcdodds/dom-testing-library/issues/107):
+
+> [...] it is becoming apparent the need to express user actions on a web page
+> using a higher-level abstraction than `fireEvent`
+
+## The solution
+
+`user-event` tries to simulate the real events that would happen in the browser
+as the user interacts with it. For example `userEvent.click(checkbox)` would
+change the state of the checkbox.
+
+The library is still a work in progress and any help is appreciated.
