-@nativescript/webpack rewrite
-
-The rewrite allows us to simplify things, and introduce some breaking changes.
-Listing them here, so we can keep track of them - will be in the merge commit, and the release notes once we are ready.
-
-BREAKING CHANGES:
- - `package.json` main should now use a relative path to the package.json instead of the app directory
-   
-   For example (given we have a `src` directory where our app is):
-   
-   `"main": "app.js"` becomes `"main": "src/app.js"`  **OR** `"main": "src/app.ts"` (whether using JS or TS)
-   
-   This simplifies things, and will allow ctrl/cmd + clicking on the filename in some editors.
- 
- - `postinstall` scripts have been removed.
- 
-   The configuration will not need to change in the user projects between updates.
- 
-   For existing projects we will provide an easy upgrade path, through `ns migrate` and a binary in the package.
-   
-   For new projects `ns create` should create the config file by invoking a binary in the package. 
-
- - removed resolutions for short imports - use full imports instead.
- 
-   For example:
-   ```
-   import http from 'http'
-   // becomes
-   import { http } from '@nativescript/core'
-   ```

+
+All NativeScript applications are bundled using webpack. This package provides the required configuration to build NativeScript apps with flexibility to customize as needed.
+
+## 📦 Installation
+
+```bash
+npm install @nativescript/webpack --save-dev
+```
+
+## 🚀 Quick Start
+
+All new projects come with a base `webpack.config.js` that's pre-configured:
+
+```js
+const webpack = require('@nativescript/webpack')
+
+module.exports = (env) => {
+  webpack.init(env)
+
+  // Learn how to customize:
+  // https://docs.nativescript.org/webpack
+
+  return webpack.resolveConfig()
+}
+```
+
+## ✨ Features
+
+- **Auto-discovery**: Automatically detects your project type (TypeScript, Angular, Vue, React, Svelte)
+- **Hot Module Replacement**: HMR enabled by default for faster development
+- **DotEnv Support**: Built-in support for `.env` files to manage environment variables
+- **Bundle Analysis**: Generate bundle reports with `--env.report`
+- **Production Optimization**: Minification with Terser in production mode
+
+## 🔧 Global Variables
+
+Useful globally available variables in your app:
+
+| Variable | Description |
+|----------|-------------|
+| `__DEV__` | `true` when building in development mode |
+| `global.isAndroid` / `__ANDROID__` | `true` when platform is Android |
+| `global.isIOS` / `__IOS__` | `true` when platform is iOS |
+| `global.isVisionOS` / `__VISIONOS__` | `true` when platform is visionOS |
+| `global.__APPLE__` | `true` when platform is iOS or visionOS |
+
+## 📚 API
+
+### Core Methods
+
+| Method | Description |
+|--------|-------------|
+| `webpack.init(env)` | Initialize the internal env object (required) |
+| `webpack.chainWebpack(chainFn)` | Add chain functions to modify config |
+| `webpack.mergeWebpack(obj)` | Merge objects into the final config |
+| `webpack.resolveConfig()` | Resolve the final webpack configuration |
+
+## 🎛️ CLI Flags
+
+| Flag | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `--no-hmr` | Disable Hot Module Replacement |
+| `--env.production` | Enable production mode with minification |
+| `--env.report` | Generate bundle analysis report |
+| `--env.verbose` | Print verbose logs and internal config |
+| `--env.e2e` | Enable E2E mode (enables `testID` property) |
+
