+# Infinite Red WebView - a Modern, Cross-Platform WebView for React Native
+
+**Infinite Red WebView** is a modern, well-supported, and cross-platform (even Windows!) WebView for React Native. It is intended to be a replacement for the built-in WebView (which may be [removed from core](https://github.com/react-native-community/discussions-and-proposals/pull/3)).
+
+## Platforms Supported
+
+* [x] iOS
+* [x] Android
+* [ ] Windows 10 (coming soon)
+
+## Installation
+
+```
+$ npm install --save ir-webview
+$ react-native link ir-webview
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+Import the `WebView` component from `ir-webview` and use it like so:
+
+```jsx
+import React, { Component } from 'react'
+import { StyleSheet, Text, View } from 'react-native'
+import { WebView } from 'ir-webview'
+
+// ...
+class MyWebComponent extends Component {
+  render () {
+    return (
+      <WebView
+        src={{uri: "https://infinite.red"}}
+        style={{marginTop: 20}}
+      />
+    )
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Additional properties are supported and will be added here; for now, refer to the previous React Native WebView documentation for more.

+
+## Migrate from React Native core WebView to Infinite Red WebView
+
+Simply install Infinite Red WebView and then use it in place of the core WebView. Their APIs are currently identical.
