+Everything above ships in one bundle with no runtime dependencies. Nothing uses `eval` or the `Function`
+constructor, so Domma runs under a `script-src 'self'` Content Security Policy.
+
+## Ecosystem
+
+Two pieces of Domma are now published as their own packages, so they can be used **without** Domma. This
+repository is simply one consumer of each.
+
+| Package | What it is | Where it lives |
+|---------|-----------|----------------|
+| [`domma-reactive`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/domma-reactive) | Dependency-tracked reactivity and fine-grained DOM bindings - the engine beneath `M.observable`, `M.computed` and `M.applyBindings` | Bundled into `domma.min.js`; [repo](https://github.com/pinpointzero73/domma-reactive) |
+| `domma-celebrate` | Eight seasonal celebration themes and their canvas engine, code-split so each theme loads only when it is in season | Served from `dist/celebrate/` on dommajs.org |
+
+**`domma-reactive` has moved out.** The reactive core was extracted into a standalone MIT-licensed package
+and is now consumed from the npm registry rather than lived in this repository. Nothing changes for Domma
+users: `M.observable()`, `M.computed()`, `M.effect()` and `M.applyBindings()` behave exactly as before, and
+the package is bundled into `domma.min.js` by rollup. What has changed is that the reactivity layer is now
+usable on its own - about 20 KB gzipped, no dependencies, no build step - in projects that want bindings
+without the rest of the framework.
+
+```bash
+npm install domma-reactive   # reactivity and bindings, standalone

+## Reactivity & Bindings
+
+The reactive layer - published standalone as [`domma-reactive`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/domma-reactive)
+and bundled here - lets you write down a relationship once and have Domma maintain it.
+
+**Observables and computed values** work out their own dependencies at runtime:
+
+```javascript
+const count = M.observable(0);
+const doubled = M.computed(() => count.value * 2);
+
+doubled.get();      // 0
+count.value = 5;
+doubled.get();      // 10
+
+count.peek();       // read without subscribing
+
+M.effect(() => console.log('count is', count.value));  // re-runs on every write
+```
+
+Writes are batched and flushed on the next microtask, so ten assignments cause one update.
+`M.flush()` forces it synchronously; `M.untracked(fn)` reads without creating a dependency.
+
+**Declarative bindings** activate markup that already exists - they never rewrite your page:
+
+```html
+<div id="app">
+    <h1 data-bind-text="title">Rendered by the server</h1>
+
+    <input data-model="query" placeholder="Search…">
+    <p data-if="query">Searching for <span data-bind-text="query"></span></p>
+
+    <ul data-each="rows key=id">
+        <li data-bind-text="name">template row</li>
+    </ul>
+
+    <button data-on-click="clear">Clear</button>
+</div>
+```
+
+```javascript
+const model = M.create({
+    title: {type: M.types.string},
+    query: {type: M.types.string},
+    rows:  {type: M.types.array}
+}, {
+    title: 'Live',
+    query: '',
+    rows: [{id: 1, name: 'Ada'}, {id: 2, name: 'Grace'}]
+});
+
+M.applyBindings(model, '#app', {
+    methods: {
+        clear() { model.set('query', ''); }
+    }
+});
+```
+
+The binding vocabulary is `data-bind-text`, `data-bind-class`, `data-bind-style`, `data-bind-style-<prop>`,
+`data-bind-<prop>`, `data-model`, `data-on-<event>`, `data-if`, `data-each`, `data-options` and
+`data-focus`. `data-each` reconciles by key, so deleting a row leaves every other row's DOM node, focus and
+scroll position intact. Extend the vocabulary with `M.registerBinding()` and `M.registerHelper()`.
+
+Expressions are parsed by hand rather than compiled with the `Function` constructor, so bindings work under
+a `script-src 'self'` Content Security Policy. A binding whose expression will not parse logs one warning
+naming the expression and is skipped; the rest of the page keeps working.
+
+See [docs/Reactivity.md](./docs/Reactivity.md) and [docs/Bindings.md](./docs/Bindings.md).
+
+## Components
+
+Define a real Custom Element with reactive state, props, computed values and lifecycle hooks. The same
+bindings work inside a component template.
+
+```javascript
+Domma.component('user-card', {
+    templateUrl: 'components/user-card/template.html',
+
+    props: {
+        userId: {type: M.types.number, required: true},
+        label:  {type: M.types.string, default: 'User'}
+    },
+
+    data() {
+        return {name: '', email: '', loading: true};
+    },
+
+    computed: {
+        initials() {
+            return this.data.name.split(' ').map(n => n[0]).join('').toUpperCase();
+        }
+    },
+
+    methods: {
+        async fetchUser() {
+            const user = await H.get(`/api/users/${this.props.userId}`);
+            this.set({ name: user.name, email: user.email, loading: false });
+        }
+    },
+
+    onMount()  { this.fetchUser(); },
+    onPropsChanged(name) { if (name === 'userId') this.fetchUser(); },
+
+    // Scoped styles, injected into the Shadow DOM
+    style: `.card { padding: var(--dm-spacing-md, 1rem); border-radius: 8px; }`
+});
+```
+
+```html
+<user-card user-id="42" label="Account owner"></user-card>
+```
+
+Tag names must contain a hyphen; Domma prefixes `domma-` automatically if yours does not. Lifecycle hooks
+are `onBeforeMount`, `onMount`, `onUpdated`, `onPropsChanged`, `onBeforeUnmount` and `onUnmount`.
+See [docs/Components.md](./docs/Components.md).

-### Tables (`Domma.tables`)
+> `timeline()` still works but is deprecated - use `progression({ mode: 'timeline' })`.
+
+### Effects (`Domma.effects`)
+
+12 scripted animations. Every effect honours `prefers-reduced-motion` and returns a control object with
+`pause()`, `resume()`, `stop()`, `restart()` and `destroy()`.
+
+| Effect | Does |
+|--------|------|
+| `scribe()` | Types text by character, word or sentence, with undo and looping |
+| `reveal()` | Scroll-triggered entrance animations via IntersectionObserver |
+| `counter()` | Animated number counting with easing and scroll trigger |
+| `scramble()` | Cipher/decode text reveal in four orders |
+| `ripple()` | Material-style click ripple |
+| `shake()` | Attention/error shake |
+| `pulse()` | Pulsing scale |
+| `breathe()` | Sinusoidal floating |
+| `twinkle()` | Sparkle overlay |
+| `tickerTape()` | Canvas ticker-tape parade, continuous or one-shot burst |
+| `butterflies()` | Canvas butterflies that wander, rise and flap |
+| `strobe()` | Canvas strobe lighting with six presets |
+
+```javascript
+Domma.effects.scribe('#headline', {
+    mode: 'word',           // 'typewriter' | 'word' | 'sentence'
+    speed: 50,
+    loop: true,

+
+### Sanitize (`Domma.sanitize`)
+
+HTML sanitisation used wherever user content reaches `innerHTML`. It delegates to **DOMPurify** when that
+is present on the page. When it is not, it escapes the HTML entirely and warns - safe, but markup is lost,
+so include DOMPurify if you need user formatting to survive.
+
+```html
+<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/dompurify@3/dist/purify.min.js"></script>
+```
+
+```javascript
+Domma.sanitize.sanitise(userHtml);                      // 'default' preset
+Domma.sanitize.sanitise(userHtml, { preset: 'strict' });
+Domma.sanitize.sanitiseBasic(comment);                  // only b, i, em, strong, br
+Domma.sanitize.sanitiseUserContent(post);               // strict preset
+Domma.sanitize.escape(text);                            // no HTML at all
+Domma.sanitize.hasDOMPurify();                          // is the real thing loaded?

 ```bash
-# Run the demo
-npm run demo
-
-# Run the showcase (comprehensive examples)
-npm run showcase
+npm run dev     # build, then serve public/ with live reload
 ```
 
+Then open `/showcase/`. 87 showcase pages cover every module. Each one is loaded into jsdom by `npm test`,
+which asserts it renders and logs nothing - so an example that stops working fails the build.
