 Thanks for contributing to ReactPlayer!
 
+Running the demo locally is relatively easy:
+

+git clone https://github.com/CookPete/react-player.git
+cd react-player
+npm install # or yarn
+npm start
+open http://localhost:3000

 ## `dist` files
 
 There is **no need** to build or commit files in `dist` after making changes. The `dist` files are only there for [bower](http://bower.io) support, and there is very little point in polluting every commit or pull request with the changes. The `dist` files will be automatically built and commmited when new versions are released, so your changes will be included then.

 #### Migrating to `1.0.0`
 
 All existing implementations of `ReactPlayer` should still work without any changes after migrating. The major changes are to how the component works internally. Keep an eye out for bugs and [raise an issue](https://github.com/CookPete/react-player/issues/new) if one doesn’t already exist.

-
-* If you are using `npm` and need to support [browsers without `Promise`](http://caniuse.com/#feat=promises) you will need a [`Promise` polyfill](https://github.com/stefanpenner/es6-promise).
-* To support IE11 you will need to use [`babel-polyfill`](https://babeljs.io/docs/usage/polyfill) or a similar ES2015+ polyfill.

+### Methods
+
+#### Static Methods
+
+Method | Description
+---- | -----------
+`ReactPlayer.canPlay(url)` | Determine if a URL can be played. This does *not* detect media that is unplayable due to privacy settings, streaming permissions, etc. In that case, the `onError` prop will be invoked after attemping to play. Any URL that does not match any patterns will fall back to a native HTML5 media player.
+
+#### Instance Methods
+
+Use [`ref`](https://facebook.github.io/react/docs/refs-and-the-dom.html) to call instance methods on the player. See [the demo app](src/demo/App.js) for an example of this.
+
+Method | Description

+
+### Advanced Usage
+
+#### Responsive player
+
+Set `width` and `height` to `100%` and wrap the player in a [fixed aspect ratio box](https://css-tricks.com/aspect-ratio-boxes) to get a responsive player:
+
+```js
+class ResponsivePlayer extends Component {
+  render () {
+    return (
+      <div className='player-wrapper'>
+        <ReactPlayer 
+          className='react-player'
+          url='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysz5S6PUM-U'
+          width='100%'
+          height='100%'
+        />
+      </div>
+    )
+  }
+}
+```
+
+```css
+.player-wrapper {
+  position: relative;
+  padding-top: 56.25% /* Player ratio: 100 / (1280 / 720) */
+}
+
+.react-player {
+  position: absolute;
+  top: 0;
+  left: 0;
+}
+```
+
+See [`jsFiddle` example](https://jsfiddle.net/e6w3rtj1/)
+
+#### Standalone player
+
+If you aren’t using React, you can still render a player using the standalone library:
+
+```html
+<script src='https://cdn.rawgit.com/CookPete/react-player/standalone/dist/ReactPlayer.standalone.js'></script>
+<script>
+  const container = document.getElementById('container')
+  const url = 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d46Azg3Pm4c'
+
+  renderReactPlayer(container, { url, playing: true })
+
+  function pausePlayer () {
+    renderReactPlayer(container, { url, playing: false })
+  }
+</script>
+```
+
+See [`jsFiddle` example](https://jsfiddle.net/krkcvx9s/)
+
+#### Using Bower
+
+```bash
+bower install react-player --save
+```
+
+```html
+<script src='bower_components/react/react.js'></script>
+<script src='bower_components/react/react-dom.js'></script>
+<script src='bower_components/react-player/dist/ReactPlayer.js'></script>
