 # Introduction
-Welcome to abap2UI5, an open-source project to develop UI5 apps purely in ABAP. 
+
+abap2UI5 is an open-source project that enables ABAP developers to build modern SAP Fiori/UI5 applications using only ABAP code—no JavaScript, OData, or RAP required.
 
 ##### About
-Whether you're developing in the cloud or on-premise, abap2UI5 simplifies UI5 development, making it fast and efficient without the need for JavaScript, OData, or RAP. It brings back the simplicity of classic ABAP, where just a few lines of code could generate input forms and tables using Selection Screens and ALVs.
+abap2UI5 simplifies UI5 development for both cloud and on-premise environments, bringing back the simplicity of classic ABAP development. Just as Selection Screens and ALVs could generate functional UIs with minimal code, abap2UI5 lets you create modern web applications with just a few lines of ABAP. The framework handles all frontend complexity, allowing you to focus on business logic.
+
+Since launching in 2023, abap2UI5 has evolved from a personal project into a community-driven framework trusted by SAP developers worldwide, with active contributions, regular updates, and continuous improvements.
 
-##### Evolution
-Launched in 2023 as a personal project, abap2UI5 initially focused on providing basic selection screen functionality for ABAP Cloud, introduced via a blog post on the SAP Community Network. Thanks to the support of the ABAP community, it has since grown significantly, adding numerous features. Today, it is a community-driven project, continuously evolving through contributions and feedback.
+##### Why abap2UI5?
+Traditional UI5 development requires JavaScript expertise, frontend deployment pipelines, and OData service configuration. abap2UI5 eliminates these complexities, letting ABAP developers leverage their existing skills to build modern UIs quickly. Whether you're modernizing legacy applications, building new business apps, or creating prototypes, abap2UI5 streamlines the development process without requiring additional frontend resources.

+## Key Benefits
+
 ##### Architecture
-abap2UI5 employs a "thin frontend" approach, with all processing, logic, and data management handled in the backend. This design simplifies configuration, minimizes client-side actions (such as clearing caches), and ensures that business logic and sensitive data remain securely on the server.

-##### Performance 
-abap2UI5 is fast! By leveraging the power of the ABAP backend for most processes, it ensures faster execution compared to UI5 Freestyle applications or others client-side frameworks. The frontend focuses solely on rendering UI via the UI5 framework.

+
+##### Security
+With complete control over HTTP handler configuration, you maintain oversight of all external communication. Additionally, abap2UI5 apps contain all business logic fully in the backend, ensuring the highest level of security.
+
+##### Transparency
+All source code is publicly available on GitHub. We discuss features and issues openly, publish technical blog posts explaining key concepts, and rapidly deploy fixes through abapGit. This commitment to transparency ensures you always understand how the framework works and can verify its behavior.
+
+## Compatibility
+
+##### ABAP Cloud
+abap2UI5 uses only released APIs, making it suitable for both on-stack and side-by-side extensions in ABAP for Cloud. You can use modern ABAP syntax features like CDS, ABAP SQL, and EML within your apps.
+
+##### Clean Core
+By relying only on released APIs, abap2UI5 ensures that your applications remain "cloud-ready" and "upgrade-stable," aligning with SAP's clean core principles. Your investment in abap2UI5 apps is protected against future SAP system upgrades.
+
+##### ABAP Classic
+The framework does not rely on newer ABAP syntax features, ensuring compatibility with on-premise and R/3 NetWeaver systems. A downported version is available for systems running ABAP versions earlier than 7.50.
 
-##### Compatibility
+##### System Support
 abap2UI5 is compatible with both ABAP Cloud and Standard ABAP, supporting all ABAP releases from version 7.02 to ABAP Cloud:
 * S/4 Public Cloud and BTP ABAP Environment (ABAP for Cloud)
 * S/4 Private Cloud or On-Premise (ABAP for Cloud, Standard ABAP)
 * R/3 NetWeaver AS ABAP 7.02 or higher (Standard ABAP)
