 love to hear from you!_
 
-## Usage
+## Getting started
+Let's create an input box that changes the content of a textbox in real time.
+[Click here to see the final app](http://requirebin.com/?gist=e589473373b3100a6ace29f7bbee3186).
+
+First we import `choo` and create a new instance:
 ```js
 const choo = require('choo')
-
 const app = choo()
+```
+
+Then we define a model. We set an initial value of `state` and a `reducer` that
+can be called to modify it:
+```js
 app.model({
-  namespace: 'input',
+  state: { title: 'Set the title' },
-  state: {
-    title: 'my demo app'
-  },
   reducers: {
-    update: (action, state) => ({ title: action.payload })
+    update: (action, state) => ({ title: action.value })
-  },
+  }
-  effects: {
+})
-    update: (action, state, send) => (document.title = action.payload)
+```
+
+Then we create a new view. It has an `h1` tag which displays the current title,
+and an `<input>` field which sends the current value of the text box on every
+input:
+```js
+const mainView = (params, state, send) => choo.view`
+  <main>
+    <h1>${state.title}</h1>
+    <input
+      type="text"
+      oninput=${(e) => send('update', { value: e.target.value })}>
+  </main>
+`
+```
+
+We then bind the view to the `/` route on our application
+```js
+app.router((route) => [
+  route('/', mainView)
+])
+```
+
+And then start the app and append it to the DOM. You can now run it and [see it
+in action!](http://requirebin.com/?gist=e589473373b3100a6ace29f7bbee3186)
+```js
+const tree = app.start()
+document.body.appendChild(tree)
+```
+
+And all together now:
+```js
+const choo = require('choo')
+const app = choo()
+
+app.model({
+  state: { title: 'Set the title' },
+  reducers: {
+    update: (action, state) => ({ title: action.value })
   }
 })
 
-const mainView = (params, state, send) => {
+const mainView = (params, state, send) => choo.view`
-  return choo.view`
+  <main>
-    <main class="app">
+    <h1>${state.title}</h1>
-      <h1>${state.input.title}</h1>
-      <label>Set the title</label>
     <input
       type="text"
-        placeholder=${state.input.title}
+      oninput=${(e) => send('update', { value: e.target.value })}>
-        oninput=${(e) => send('input:update', { payload: e.target.value })}>
   </main>
-  `
