+# Pycord Reactive Views
+
+Pycord Reactive Views is a powerful library that extends [Pycord](https://pycord.dev), bringing reactive programming to Discord bot development. It enables developers to create dynamic, responsive user interfaces for their bots with ease.

+## What is Reactivity?
+
+Reactivity is a programming paradigm commonly used in front-end development. It allows for the creation of dynamic user interfaces that update in real-time based on changes in the underlying data. Pycord Reactive Views brings this powerful concept to Discord bot development.
+
+In Pycord, reactivity is implemented through `View` classes. These classes are responsible for:
+- Rendering the user interface
+- Updating the UI in response to data changes
+- Handling user interactions
+
+## Features
+
+- **Reactive Components**: Create buttons, select menus, and other Discord components that automatically update based on your bot's state.
+- **Declarative Syntax**: Define your UI logic in a clear, declarative manner.
+- **Easy Integration**: Seamlessly integrates with existing Pycord projects.
+- **Performance Optimized**: Efficiently updates only the components that have changed.
+
+## Installation
+
+To install Pycord Reactive Views, use pip:
+
+```bash
+pip install pycord-reactive-views
+```
+
+Ensure you have Pycord installed as well:
+
+```bash
+pip install py-cord
+```
+
+## Quick Start
+
+Here's a simple example of a reactive counter view:
+
+```python
+from pycord_reactive_views import ReactiveView, ReactiveButton, ReactiveValue
+
+class Counter(ReactiveView):
+    def __init__(self):
+        super().__init__()
+        self.counter = 0
+        self.counter_button = ReactiveButton(
+            label=ReactiveValue(lambda: f"Count: {self.counter}", "Count: 0"),
+            style=ReactiveValue(
+                lambda: discord.ButtonStyle.primary if self.counter % 2 == 0 else discord.ButtonStyle.secondary,
+                discord.ButtonStyle.primary,
+            ),
+        )
+        self.reset_button = ReactiveButton(
+            label="Reset",
+            style=discord.ButtonStyle.danger,
+            disabled=ReactiveValue(lambda: self.counter == 0, True),
+        )
+        self.counter_button.callback = self._increment
+        self.reset_button.callback = self._reset
+        self.add_item(self.counter_button)
+        self.add_item(self.reset_button)
+
+    async def _increment(self, interaction: discord.Interaction) -> None:
+        await interaction.response.defer()
+        self.counter += 1
+        await self.update()
+
+    async def _reset(self, interaction: discord.Interaction) -> None:
+        await interaction.response.defer()
+        self.counter = 0
+        await self.update()
+
+# Usage in your bot
+@bot.command()
+async def counter(ctx):
+    view = Counter()
+    await Counter().send(ctx)
+```
+
+This example demonstrates how to bind a button's label, style, and disabled state to functions that determine their values based on the current state of the counter.
