-### JavaScript Initialization
-
 ```javascript
 import { AFS } from 'advanced-filter-system';
 
 const afs = new AFS({
-    // Required selectors
-    containerSelector: '.items-container',
-    itemSelector: '.filter-item',
-    filterButtonSelector: '.btn-filter',
-    searchInputSelector: '.filter-search',
-    counterSelector: '.filter-counter',
-    
-    // Search configuration
-    searchKeys: ['title', 'categories'],
-    
-    // NEW: Advanced filter logic
-    filterCategoryMode: 'mixed', // OR within categories, AND between
-    filterTypeLogic: {
-        category: { mode: 'OR', multi: true },  // Multi-select OR
-        brand: 'OR',                            // Toggle mode

 });
 ```
 
-## Filter Logic Modes
-
-### Mixed Mode (Recommended)
-
-The most intuitive filtering experience - OR logic within filter categories, AND logic between different categories.
-
-```javascript
-const afs = new AFS({
-    filterCategoryMode: 'mixed',
-    // When user selects: Tech OR Design AND Apple OR Samsung
-    // Shows: (Tech OR Design) AND (Apple OR Samsung)
-});
-```
-
-### Per-Type Logic Configuration
-
-Configure each filter type independently for maximum flexibility.
-
-```javascript
-const afs = new AFS({
-    filterCategoryMode: 'mixed',
-    filterTypeLogic: {
-        category: { mode: 'OR', multi: true },  // Multi-select checkboxes
-        brand: 'OR',                            // Toggle buttons (exclusive)
-        price: 'AND',                           // Multi-select with AND logic
-        features: { mode: 'OR', multi: true }   // Multi-select with OR logic
-    }
-});
-
-// Update logic at runtime
-afs.filter.setFilterTypeLogic('brand', { mode: 'OR', multi: true });
+```css
+/* AFS toggles these two classes — style them however you like */
+.btn-filter.active { background: #000; color: #fff; }
+.filter-item.hidden { display: none !important; }
 ```
 
-### Legacy Modes
+That's it. Clicking a filter button, typing in the search box or changing pages all update the items, the counter and the URL.
 
-```javascript
-// Legacy OR mode (all filters use OR logic)
-const afs = new AFS({ filterCategoryMode: 'OR' });
+## How filtering works
 
-// Legacy AND mode (all filters use AND logic)
-const afs = new AFS({ filterCategoryMode: 'AND' });
-```
-
-## Filter Types & UI Components
-
-### Button Filters
+Every item declares its facets in `data-categories`, as space-separated `type:value` pairs:
 
 ```html
-<!-- Toggle mode (exclusive) -->
-<button class="btn-filter" data-filter="category:tech">Technology</button>
-
-<!-- Multi-select mode -->
-<button class="btn-filter" data-filter="brand:apple">Apple</button>
-<button class="btn-filter" data-filter="brand:samsung">Samsung</button>
-
-<!-- Clear specific category -->
-<button class="btn-filter" data-filter="category:*">Clear Categories</button>
+<div class="filter-item" data-categories="category:tech brand:apple color:silver">
 ```
 
-### Select Dropdowns
+Filter controls target those pairs through `data-filter`:
 
-```html
-<select class="afs-filter-dropdown">
-    <option value="*">All Categories</option>
-    <option value="category:tech">Technology</option>
-    <option value="category:design">Design</option>
-</select>
-```
+| `data-filter` value | Meaning |
+|---|---|
+| `category:tech` | Toggle this filter |
+| `*` | Reset — show everything |
+| `category:*` | Clear every active `category:` filter |
 
-### Radio Buttons
-
-```html
-<label><input type="radio" name="category" class="btn-filter" data-filter="*" checked> All</label>
-<label><input type="radio" name="category" class="btn-filter" data-filter="category:tech"> Tech</label>
-<label><input type="radio" name="category" class="btn-filter" data-filter="category:design"> Design</label>
-```
-
-### Checkboxes
-
-```html
-<label><input type="checkbox" class="btn-filter" data-filter="category:tech"> Technology</label>
-<label><input type="checkbox" class="btn-filter" data-filter="category:design"> Design</label>
-```
-
-### Range Sliders
+By default AFS runs in **mixed mode**: filters of the same type combine with OR, different types combine with AND. Selecting *Tech*, *Design* and *Apple* shows items that are `(tech OR design) AND apple`. Each type's logic is configurable:
 
 ```javascript
-// Add price range slider with histogram
-afs.rangeFilter.addRangeSlider({
-    key: 'price',
-    type: 'number',
-    container: '.price-range-container',
-    min: 0,
-    max: 3000,
-    step: 50,
-    ui: {
-        showHistogram: true,
-        bins: 10
-    }
-});
-
-// Add rating range slider
-afs.rangeFilter.addRangeSlider({
-    key: 'rating',
-    type: 'number',
-    container: '.rating-range-container',
-    min: 4.0,
-    max: 5.0,
-    step: 0.1
-});
-```
-
-### Date Range Filters
-
-```javascript
-// Add date range filter
-afs.dateFilter.addDateRange({
-    key: 'date',
-    container: '.date-range-container',
-    minDate: new Date('2024-01-01'),
-    maxDate: new Date(),
-    format: 'YYYY-MM-DD'
-});
-```
-
-## Advanced Features
-
-### Search & Filtering
-
-```javascript
-// Programmatic search
-afs.search.search('query');
-afs.search.clearSearch();
-afs.search.setValue('new query');
-
-// Programmatic filtering
-afs.filter.addFilter('category:tech');
-afs.filter.removeFilter('category:tech');
-afs.filter.clearAllFilters();
-afs.filter.clearFilterCategory('category:*');
-```
-
-### Sorting
-
-```javascript
-// Sort by single field
-afs.sort.sort('price', 'desc');
-
-// Custom sorting
-afs.sort.sortWithComparator('title', (a, b) => {
-    return a.localeCompare(b, 'en', { numeric: true });
-});
-
-// Shuffle items
-afs.sort.shuffle();
-```
-
-### Pagination
-
-```javascript
-// Pagination navigation
-afs.pagination.goToPage(2);
-afs.pagination.nextPage();
-afs.pagination.previousPage();
-
-// Toggle pagination mode
-afs.pagination.setPaginationMode(true); // Enable
-afs.pagination.setPaginationMode(false); // Show all
-```
-
-### URL State Management
-
-```javascript
-// Enable URL state persistence
 const afs = new AFS({
-    preserveState: true,
-    urlStateKey: 'filters' // Custom URL parameter name
+  filterCategoryMode: 'mixed',
+  filterTypeLogic: {
+    category: { mode: 'OR', multi: true },  // multi-select (checkbox-style)
+    brand: 'OR',                            // exclusive (one at a time)
+    tags: 'AND',                            // items must match all selected
+  },
 });
-
-// Manual state management
-const state = afs.getState();
-afs.setState(state);
 ```
 
-### Animations
+Buttons, checkboxes (`<input type="checkbox" data-filter>`), radios (`<input type="radio" data-filter>`) and dropdowns (`<select data-filter-type>`) are all supported — see the [Filter documentation](docs/filter.md).
 
-```javascript
-const afs = new AFS({
-    animation: {
-        type: 'fade', // fade, slide, scale, flip, rotate, zoom, bounce, blur, etc.
-        duration: 400,
-        easing: 'ease-out'
-    }
-});
+## Documentation
 
-// Change animation options at runtime
-afs.updateOptions({
-    animation: {
-        type: 'slide',
-        duration: 400
-    }
-});
-```
