 ## Features
 
-- Sessions that survive disconnects: detach with `C-a d`, reattach with
-  `boo attach`.
-- A full-screen session manager: `boo ui` lists sessions in a sidebar
-  with their titles, and renders the focused one next to it. Click to
-  switch or kill sessions; drag to select and copy text (OSC 52);
-  scroll the wheel to page through a session's history; create,
-  rename, and everything else works from the keyboard.
-- One command per session, named after your current directory by
-  default. Sessions are cheap; run one per task.
-- Faithful redraws from libghostty terminal state, including SGR styles,
-  cursor position, scrolling regions, window title, and terminal modes
-  (alt screen, bracketed paste, mouse reporting, kitty keyboard, ...).
-- Screen-style terminal etiquette: the attached client renders inside
-  your terminal's alternate screen, so attaching never disturbs your
-  shell scrollback and detaching restores your pre-attach view.
-  Alternate-screen switches by apps inside a session are tracked in
-  terminal state and repainted, never passed through raw.
-- Agent-friendly automation primitives: `send`, `peek`, `wait`, and
-  `--json` output, all usable without a terminal.
-- Resize propagation end to end (SIGWINCH -> client -> daemon ->
-  PTY -> application).

 ## Install
 
-### Install script
+For Linux and macOS:
 
 ```sh
 curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/coder/boo/main/install.sh | sh
 ```
 
-Pre-built binaries for Linux (x86_64, aarch64; fully static) and macOS
-(x86_64, aarch64) are published on the
-[releases page](https://github.com/coder/boo/releases). Set

+Pre-built binaries are published on the [releases page](https://github.com/coder/boo/releases). Set `BOO_VERSION` to pin a release and `BOO_INSTALL_DIR` to change the
 install location (default: `/usr/local/bin` when writable, otherwise
 `~/.local/bin`).
 
-### Nix
-
-With [flakes](https://wiki.nixos.org/wiki/Flakes) enabled:
-
-```sh
-nix run github:coder/boo            # try it without installing
-nix profile add github:coder/boo    # install into your profile
-```
-
-Or add `github:coder/boo` as an input to your own flake and reference
-`packages.<system>.default` from your NixOS, nix-darwin, or Home
-Manager configuration.

-## Building
-
-Requires [Zig](https://ziglang.org) 0.15.2.
-
-```sh
-zig build                       # binary in zig-out/bin/boo
-zig build test                  # unit tests
-zig build test-integration     # end-to-end tests on a real PTY
-zig build test-all             # everything
-```
-
-The libghostty dependency is fetched and built from source
-automatically (pinned in `build.zig.zon`).
-
-With Nix, `nix develop` opens a shell with the right Zig version, and
-`nix build` builds the package to `./result/bin/boo`.

 - The `C-a` prefix is not yet configurable, and pasted bytes containing

   `boo ui` is immune thanks to bracketed paste).
