+This repo contains the code for an [Apache Cordova](http://cordova.apache.org)
+platform that allows you to build applications that target NOTHING. This
+platform is purely for testing, although it is also a good resource to see the
+minimum requirements to implement a new platform.
 
 [Apache Cordova](http://cordova.apache.org) is a project of [The Apache Software Foundation (ASF)](http://apache.org)
 
+# How to Use This
+
+This repository contains a reference implementation of Cordova's Platform API.
+The Platform API defines interfaces for Cordova tooling to be able to create,
+build/compile, run/emulate and clean Cordova projects targeted at a specific
+platform. Core Cordova platforms such as cordova-android and cordova-ios
+implement this API. This API is then used by tools such as cordova-cli and
+cordova-lib when managing platform-specific actions in cross-platform Cordova
+projects.
