+#### Specialized router types
+
+You can use specialized router classes according to the type of event that you are resolving. This way you'll get type hints from your IDE as you access the `current_event` property.

 #### Sharing contextual data
 
 You can use `append_context` when you want to share data between your App and Router instances. Any data you share will be available via the `context` dictionary available in your App or Router context.
