-# nativescript-dev-webpack
+# NativeScript Webpack
 
-A package to help with webpacking NativeScript apps.
+This repository contains the code for the nativescript-dev-webpack plugin which helps in webpacking [NativeScript](https://www.nativescript.org/) apps.
 
-# Ingredients
+JavaScript code and general asset bundling have been a member of the web developer toolbox for a long time. Tools like Webpack have been providing support for an enjoyable development experience that lets you assemble client-side code from various module sources and formats and then package it together. Most importantly, they allow for page load time optimizations that reduce or parallelize the number of requests a browser makes to the server.
+
+Why bundle scripts in a mobile app though? 
+
+- Fewer filesystem operations on app startup
+- Smaller code size
+- Tree-shaking
+- Preprocessing and interoperability hooks. Webpack provides a way to resolve modules and expressions differently according to its configuration. It also contains a lot of plugins and loaders that let you embed different content in your application or use code written in different programming languages
+
+For more details, see the [NativeScript docs for building with webpack](http://docs.nativescript.org/angular/best-practices/bundling-with-webpack.html).
