+## Introduction
 
-**RNFirebase** makes using [Firebase](http://firebase.com) with React Native simple.
+**React Native Firebase** is a _light-weight_ javascript layer connecting you to the native Firebase SDKs for both iOS and Android which aimes to mirror the offical Firebase Web SDK as closely as possible.
 
-<hr>
+Although the official [Firebase JS SDK](https://www.npmjs.com/package/firebase) will work with React Native; it is mainly built for the web and has a limited feature-set compared to native.

-### Why
-
-RNFirebase is a _light-weight_ layer sitting on-top of the native Firebase libraries for both iOS and Android which mirrors the Firebase Web SDK as closely as possible.
-
-Although the [Firebase Web SDK](https://www.npmjs.com/package/firebase) library will work with React Native, it is mainly built for the web.
-
-RNFirebase provides a JavaScript bridge to the native Firebase SDKs for both iOS and Android therefore Firebase will run on the native thread, allowing the rest of your app to run on the [JS thread](https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/performance.html#javascript-frame-rate). The Firebase Web SDK also runs on the JS thread, therefore potentially affecting the frame rate causing jank with animations, touch events etc.
-
-The native SDKs also allow us to hook into device sdk's which are not possible with the web SDK, for example crash reporting, offline realtime database support, analytics and more!
-
-All in all, RNFirebase provides much faster performance (~2x) over the web SDK and provides device sdk's not found in the web sdk (see the feature table below).
+Using the native Firebase SDKs with **React Native Firebase** allows you to consume device SDKs which don't exist on the Firebase JS SDK - for example; Remote Config, Performance Monitoring, Dynamic Links, Analytics and more (see the feature table below for comparison).
