 ### Key Features
 
 * 📡 Device Information – Display battery status, WiFi strength, firmware version, and more. 
 * 🔍 Auto-Join – Automatically detects and adds devices from your local network. 
 * 🖥️ Screen Generation – Supports Markup, API, or update via Code. 
-* 🔄 TRMNL API Proxy – Can act as a proxy for TRMNL API (requires TRMNL Developer Edition). 
+* 🔄 TRMNL API Proxy – Can act as a proxy for the TRMNL Display API (requires TRMNL Developer Edition). 
   * This enables a hybrid setup – for example, you can update your custom Train Monitor every 5 minutes in the morning, while displaying native TRMNL plugins throughout the day.
 * 🐳 Deployment – Dockerized setup for easier hosting (Dockerfile, docker-compose).
 
+### 🎯 Target Audience
+
+This project is for developers who are looking for a self-hosted server for devices running the TRMNL firmware.
+It serves as a starter kit, giving you the flexibility to build and extend it however you like.
+
 ### Requirements
 
 * PHP >= 8.2
