 # storey
 
-`storey` is currently a pile of debris with some (hopefully) good ideas strewn about. One day, a new storage abstraction library for the decentralized world might rise from it. Like a phoenix from ashes. Or like a sleep-deprived commuter at 6 a.m. One of the two.
+`storey` is an experimental storage abstraction layer for blockchain modules and smart contracts. It's mostly intended
+for the [CosmWasm](https://cosmwasm.com/) ecosystem, where it's meant as an alternative to [`cw-storage-plus`](https://github.com/CosmWasm/cw-storage-plus).
+
+In essence, if you have a binary key-value based store, you can integrate `storey` with it to provide typed abstractions that are
+a little nicer to work with.

-## Loose goals (subject to change)
+## Goals
 
 - comparable user experience for simple use cases to [`cw-storage-plus`](https://github.com/CosmWasm/cw-storage-plus)
 - minimal key length (compared to [`cw-storage-plus`](https://github.com/CosmWasm/cw-storage-plus))
 - backend-agnostic core - go, plug it into something other than _CosmWasm_
-- encoding-agnostic core - a _CosmWasm_-specific crate will mandate an encoding for values, but the core itself probably won't
-- minimal-dependency core - currently, the core has 0 (zero) external dependencies
+- encoding-agnostic core - the _CosmWasm_-specific crate mandates an encoding for values, but the core itself doesn't
+- minimal-dependency core - currently, the core has almost no dependencies
 - composable collections
-- nicer compound keys
 - a better API for folks who would like to implement their own collections
-- spit-shined code
 
 ## Non-goals
 
-It's unlikely we'll build these. It's more likely we'll eventually provide enough support that you can build them yourself without much headache.
