-This is a web application developed for the <b>Codedex Holiday Hackathon '23!</b> 
-Here's why:
-* Your time should be focused on creating something amazing. A project that solves a problem and helps others
-* You shouldn't be doing the same tasks over and over like creating a README from scratch
-* You should implement DRY principles to the rest of your life :smile:
-
-Of course, no one template will serve all projects since your needs may be different. So I'll be adding more in the near future. You may also suggest changes by forking this repo and creating a pull request or opening an issue. Thanks to all the people have contributed to expanding this template!
+This is a web application developed for the <b>Codedex Holiday Hackathon '23!</b> The chosen track was the theme "In the Holiday Spirit".
+Main app features:
+* Authentication with Google Firebase
+* Personalized greeting message
+* Data persistence with Firestore. Create, read, and delete documents
+* Create an e-card from 3 preset templates
+* Makes a unique URL for every card so users can easily share them with family and friends
 
-Use the `BLANK_README.md` to get started.
+I wanted to make something with a bright and cheerful interface to get people excited for the holiday season. The concept for this app allowed a lot of creativity for both the frontend UI as well as the ecard design.
