+## About
+
+Embeddable, customizable and themable component for your Status Community.
+
+## Usage
+
+### For Community owners 👥
+
+**Get public key to your pre-existing Community:**
+
+1. Open Status Desktop
+2. Select Community
+3. Click on its overview in upper left corner
+4. Invite new people
+5. Share community
+6. Get only the public key from the URL (e.g. `0x033c88c950480493e2e759923bd38f9aad88e1b36295757a598679a569e6a96801`)
+
+**Or create new one first:**
+
+1. Get Status Desktop at <https://status.im/get> 
+2. Go to Chat
+3. Click on plus icon
+4. Click on Communities
+
+**Use the Community component:**
+
+In your project,
+
+Install package:
+
+```sh
+npm install @status-im/react
+```
+
+Import component:
+
+```js
+import { Community } from '@status-im/react'
+```
+
+Set component props:
+
+```js
+<Community
+  publicKey="0x033c88c950480493e2e759923bd38f9aad88e1b36295757a598679a569e6a96801"
+  theme="light"
+/>
+```
+
+For an example, see [examples/with-vite/src/app.tsx](./examples/with-vite/src/app.tsx).
+
+### For User 👤
+
+**Simply visit your Community's URL from the browser:**
+
+For example, <https://status-devcon.vercel.app/>.
+
+If the Community doesn't require a joining request, that would be it. So look around and get the feel for the space.
+
+**Once ready to chat, create a throwaway profile:**
+
+Use Throwaway Profile > wait for your request to be approved and the chat input enabled > react to and write messages
+
+**Optionally, you could even run the application locally yourself.**
+
+Get the source ready:
+
+```sh
+git clone https://github.com/status-im/status-web.git
+cd ./status-web
+npm install
+npm build
+```
+
+Add your Community's public key to your environment:
+
+```sh
+echo 'PUBLIC_KEY="0x033c88c950480493e2e759923bd38f9aad88e1b36295757a598679a569e6a96801"' >> examples/with-vite/.env
+```
+
+And run it:
+
+```sh
+npm run dev --workspace=examples/with-vite
+```
