+## @waku/create-app
+
+This package is here to help you bootstrap your next Waku dapp.
+
+Usage:
+- `yarn create @waku/app [options] <project-dir>`
+- `npx @waku/create-app [options] <project-dir>`
+
+For options you can specify template from which to initialize your app. Template correlates directly to the name of example you can see in this repository.
+
+#### How to add support for new example:
+Extend `wakuExamples` property defined in `package.json` in this package with the name of the example and relative path to it where folder of the example should be the same as it's name.
