 This is not production ready yet. We're aiming to keep up with new developments in Mojo, but it might take some time to get to a point when this is safe to use in real-world applications.
 
 Lightbug currently has the following features:
- - [x] Pure Mojo networking! No dependencies on Python by default
- - [x] TCP-based server and client implementation
- - [x] Assign your own custom handler to a route
- - [x] Craft HTTP requests and responses with built-in primitives
- - [x] Everything is fully typed, with no `def` functions used

 Pure Mojo-based client is available by default. This client is also used internally for testing the server.
 
-## Switching between pure Mojo and Python implementations
-
-By default, Lightbug uses the pure Mojo implementation for networking. To use Python's `socket` library instead, just import the `PythonServer` instead of the `Server` with the following line:
+### UDP Support
+To get started with UDP, just use the `listen_udp` and `dial_udp` functions, along with `write_to` and `read_from` methods, like below.
 
+On the client:
 ```mojo
-from lightbug_http.python.server import PythonServer
+from lightbug_http.connection import dial_udp
+from lightbug_http.address import UDPAddr
+from utils import StringSlice
+
+alias test_string = "Hello, lightbug!"

+fn main() raises:
+    print("Dialing UDP server...")
+    alias host = "127.0.0.1"
+    alias port = 12000
+    var udp = dial_udp(host, port)
+
+    print("Sending " + str(len(test_string)) + " messages to the server...")
+    for i in range(len(test_string)):

+                raise e

 ```
 
-You can then use all the regular server commands in the same way as with the default server.
-Note: as of September, 2024, `PythonServer` and `PythonClient` throw a compilation error when starting. There's an open [issue](https://github.com/saviorand/lightbug_http/issues/41) to fix this - contributions welcome!

+```mojo
+fn main() raises:

+
+    while True:

 We're working on support for the following (contributors welcome!):
 
--  [ ] [WebSocket Support](https://github.com/saviorand/lightbug_http/pull/57)
+ - [ ] [JSON support](https://github.com/saviorand/lightbug_http/issues/4)
+ - [ ] Complete HTTP/1.x support compliant with RFC 9110/9112 specs (see issues)
  - [ ] [SSL/HTTPS support](https://github.com/saviorand/lightbug_http/issues/20)
- - [ ] UDP support
- - [ ] [Better error handling](https://github.com/saviorand/lightbug_http/issues/3), [improved form/multipart and JSON support](https://github.com/saviorand/lightbug_http/issues/4)
  - [ ] [Multiple simultaneous connections](https://github.com/saviorand/lightbug_http/issues/5), [parallelization and performance optimizations](https://github.com/saviorand/lightbug_http/issues/6)
  - [ ] [HTTP 2.0/3.0 support](https://github.com/saviorand/lightbug_http/issues/8)
- - [ ] [ASGI spec conformance](https://github.com/saviorand/lightbug_http/issues/17)
 
 The plan is to get to a feature set similar to Python frameworks like [Starlette](https://github.com/encode/starlette), but with better performance.
 
 Our vision is to develop three libraries, with `lightbug_http` (this repo) as a starting point: 
- - `lightbug_http` - HTTP infrastructure and basic API development
- - `lightbug_api` - (coming later in 2024!) Tools to make great APIs fast, with support for OpenAPI spec and domain driven design
+ - `lightbug_http` - Lightweight and simple HTTP framework, basic networking primitives
+ - [`lightbug_api`](https://github.com/saviorand/lightbug_api) - Tools to make great APIs fast, with OpenAPI support and automated docs
  - `lightbug_web` - (release date TBD) Full-stack web framework for Mojo, similar to NextJS or SvelteKit
 
 The idea is to get to a point where the entire codebase of a simple modern web application can be written in Mojo.
