+## Donate
+
+Maintaining open-source projects takes a lot of time, and the more donations I receive, the more time I can dedicate to open-source. If this module is useful to you, consider [making a donation](http://cryto.net/~joepie91/donate.html)!
+
+You can donate using Bitcoin, PayPal, Flattr, cash-in-mail, SEPA transfers, and pretty much anything else. Thank you!
+
+## Contributing
+
+Pull requests welcome. Please make sure your modifications are in line with the overall code style, and ensure that you're editing the files in `src/`, not those in `lib/`.
+
+Build tool of choice is `gulp`; simply run `gulp` while developing, and it will watch for changes.
+
+Be aware that by making a pull request, you agree to release your modifications under the licenses stated above.
+
+## Usage
+
+```javascript
+const createEventEmitter = require("create-event-emitter");
+
+let doorbell = createEventEmitter({
+	ring: function ringDoorbell(noise = "RING RING!") {
+		this.emit("ringing", noise);
+	}
+});
+
+doorbell.on("ring", (noise) => {
+	console.log(`Doorbell is ringing: ${noise}`);
+});
+
+doorbell.ring(); // Prints: "Doorbell is ringing: RING RING!"
+```
+
+## API
+
+### createEventEmitter(properties)
+
+Creates a new event-emitting object with the specified properties. The resulting `emitter` has the standard [EventEmitter API](https://nodejs.org/api/events.html#events_class_eventemitter).
+
+* __properties__: The properties that the new event-emitting object should have. These are simply merged into the `emitter` object.
+
+### emitter.emit(eventName, [... arguments])
+
+Emits the specified event on the `emitter`, triggering the associated event handlers, if any. You'd usually call this from *within* a method on the `emitter`, as `this.emit`.
+
+* __eventName__: The name of the event to emit/trigger.
+* __... arguments__: The arguments to pass to the event handler. Any amount is allowed.
+
+Note that this is part of the API of the standard Node.js EventEmitter, as documented [here](https://nodejs.org/api/events.html#events_emitter_emit_eventname_args).
