 ## Features
 
 - **Lightweight**
-- **Tree‑shakeable**
-- **Minimal re-renders** — only updates fields that change
-- **Native HTML Constraint Validations**
-- **Custom Validations**
-- **Custom Async Validations**
-- **Supports Yup, Zod, and more**
-- **Dynamic forms** — add/remove fields on the fly
-- **Accessibility‑friendly**  
-  Automatically sets `aria-required` and `aria-invalid`
-- **React Native support**
-
+- **Tree‑shakable** — import only what you use to keep bundles small
+- **Minimal re-renders** — updates only the fields that actually change
+- **Native HTML constraint validation** — full support for `min`, `max`, `pattern`, `minLength`, `maxLength`, `required`, and more
+- **Custom Validations** – add custom validation with any rules
+- **Async Validations** — run asynchronous rules for server-side checks
+- **Supports Yup, Zod, and more** – use any validation library you like
+- **Deeply Nested Forms** — structure forms however you like, across any number of components
+- **Dynamic fields** — add or remove fields at runtime without losing state
+- **Native `<form>` actions** — fully supports browser‑level form submission, including action, method, and HTTP navigation, with no JavaScript required
+- **Next.js Server Actions support** — works seamlessly with Server Actions through standard `<form>` submissions, with no special adapters or client‑side wiring
+- **Accessibility‑friendly** — automatically manages `aria-required` and `aria-invalid`
+- **React Native support** — works seamlessly across web and mobile
