 # Obsidian Update Time
 
-Obsidian plugin that updates front matter to include creation and last update times.
+This Obsidian plugin updates the front matter in your notes to include the creation and last update dates/times.
+Once the plugin is installed and enabled, it will automatically add/update the properties in your metadata.
 
-## Installation
+This plugin is a simplified fork of the [update-time-on-edit plugin](https://github.com/beaussan/update-time-on-edit-obsidian). It was created because the original plugin did not work with Obsidian Publish (cfr this issue: https://github.com/beaussan/update-time-on-edit-obsidian/issues/75)

+## Features
 
-## Configuration
+Whenever a file change is detected (whether made in Obsidian or not), this plugin updates the metadata of the file to include up to date creation and modification dates.
+By default, the information is stored in the `created` and `updated` properties.
+
+The creation and modification times that are set correspond to the file's `ctime` (file creation time) and `mtime` (last modification time).
 
-TODO
+This plugin supports folder exclusions, to avoid updating certain files (e.g., templates).
 
-## Contributing
+Remember to backup your vault since this plugin will modify files.

+## Configuration
 
-## Development environment
+Once installed, you need to go to the settings of the plugin to enable it. It is disabled by default to ensure you have time to configure it.
 
-In addition to the classic (npm/node, installation, etc), make sure to define the OBSIDIAN_VAULT_LOCATION environment variable. It should point to the root folder of an existing Obsidian vault. When building the DEV version (`npm run build:dev` or `npm run watch`), the plugin will be copied to that vault's `.obsidian/plugins` folder. This makes it easy to build and automatically have the up to date plugin for testing in Obsidian. It also avoids having to store the codebase within the Obsidian vault...
+In the configuration, you can add a list of folders to exclude.
