-# October.Today
+# october.today
 
-A simple website that displays the date as if October 2019 never ended.
+A simple, elegant counter showing how many days it's been since October 1, 2019.
 
-## About
+Built with Next.js, shadcn/ui, and the "Soft, Translucent, Alive" design philosophy.
 
-This website is based on a running joke between friends where we count the days as if we're still in October 2019. Instead of showing today's actual date, it displays it as "October Nth, 2019" where N is the number of days since October 1, 2019.
+## Features
 
-## How It Works
+- **Dynamic Counter**: Calculates and displays days since October 1, 2019
+- **Smooth Animations**: Number counting animation and interactive hover effects
+- **Share Functionality**: Share via SMS with a single click
+- **Modern Design**: Glassmorphism UI with "Living Blob" background animation
+- **Typography**: Editorial-style typography using Playfair Display and Inter
+- **Analytics**: Optional Umami tracking support
 
-The site uses JavaScript to:
-1. Calculate the number of days since October 1, 2019
-2. Display the result as "October [day count]" with the appropriate ordinal suffix (st, nd, rd, th)
