 # Pathfinder C++
 
-This is a C++ port of [Pathfinder 3](https://github.com/servo/pathfinder) with a Vulkan backend added.
+[![License](https://img.shields.io/badge/license-MIT%2FApache--2.0-blue.svg)](LICENSE)
+[![C++ Standard](https://img.shields.io/badge/C%2B%2B-14-green.svg)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%2B%2B14)
 
-## Requirements
+A high-performance, GPU-accelerated 2D vector graphics library, ported from the original Rust implementation of [Pathfinder 3](https://github.com/servo/pathfinder). This version brings the power of massivly parallel vector rasterization to the C++ ecosystem, with native **Vulkan**, **OpenGL**, and **Metal** backends.
 
-* C++14.
-* Hybrid mode: `Vulkan` / `OpenGL 3.3 (or higher)` / `OpenGL ES 3.0 (or higher)` / `WebGL2`.
-* GpuDriven mode: `Vulkan` / `OpenGL 4.3 (or higher)` / `OpenGL ES 3.1 (or higher)`.
+## 🚀 Key Features
 
-Notable: The GpuDriven mode has some limits in an OpenGL ES context because, for ES, it's impossible to read & write
-the same image in a single compute invocation.
+*   **Massively Parallel Rasterization**: Leverages the GPU to rasterize complex vector scenes at high speeds.
+*   **Dual Rendering Strategies**:
+    *   **Hybrid Mode**: CPU-assisted binning with hardware rasterization. Optimized for mobile devices and static path caching.
+    *   **GPU-Driven Mode**: Full compute-shader-based pipeline. Minimizes CPU overhead by moving binning and tiling entirely to the GPU.
+*   **Advanced Effects**: Native support for shadows, blurs, gradients, and complex clipping paths.
+*   **Cross-Platform**: Designed for Windows, Linux, macOS, Android, and Web (Wasm).
 
-## Run demo
+## 🛠 Supported Backends
 
-### Shader generation (Optional)
+| Backend | Hybrid Mode | GPU-Driven Mode | Notes |
+| :--- | :---: | :---: | :--- |
+| **Vulkan** | ✅ | ✅ | Best performance |
+| **OpenGL 4.3+** | ✅ | ✅ | Desktop standard |
+| **OpenGL ES 3.1+** | ✅ | ✅* | *Limited by Storage Image access on some ES devices |
+| **OpenGL ES 3.0** | ✅ | ❌ | Compatibility mode |
+| **WebGL2** | ✅ | ❌ | Web target |
 
-* Run `src/shaders/compile_and_convert.ps1` to generate embedded shader headers. You should have Vulkan SDK installed
-  first.
+## 📦 Getting Started
 
-### Windows / Linux / Mac
+### Prerequisites
+*   C++14 compatible compiler.
+*   CMake 3.15+.
+*   Vulkan SDK (if building with Vulkan support or regenerating shaders).
 
-* Initialize submodules.
-* Build and run the CMake project `demo/native/CMakeList.txt`.
+### Building the Library
+```bash
+git clone --recursive https://github.com/your-repo/pathfinder-cpp.git
+cd pathfinder-cpp
+mkdir build && cd build
+cmake ..
+make
+```
 
-### Android
+## 🎮 Demos
+
+### Windows / Linux / macOS
+The native demo uses a common application framework.
+1.  Initialize submodules: `git submodule update --init --recursive`.
+2.  Open the project in your favorite IDE (CLion, VS) and run the `demo` target.
 
-* Copy `assets` into `demo/android/app/src/main`.
-* Open `demo/android` in Android Studio.
-* Build and run.
+### Android
+1.  Copy `assets` into `demo/android/app/src/main`.
+2.  Open `demo/android` in Android Studio.
+3.  Deploy to a device supporting GLES 3.0+.
 
-### Web
+### Web (Emscripten)
+1.  Set up the Emscripten environment.
+2.  Run `./build_wasm.sh`.
+3.  Run `./demo/web/serve.sh` and visit `http://127.0.0.1:8000`.
 
-* Set up emscripten environment.
-* Run `build_wasm.sh` to build the demo.
-* Run `demo/web/serve.sh` to serve a local website.
-* Open http://127.0.0.1:8000/.
