-- Checkout our [CONTRIBUTING.md](/CONTRIBUTING.md) if you want to help out!
+- `babel-minify` is an experimental project that attempts to use Babel's toolchain (for compilation) to do something in a similar vein, minification. Currently in 0.x, so we don't recommend using it in production.
 
-- Babel-Minify is consumable via API, CLI, or Babel preset.
+- We are currently still looking for maintainers, checkout our [CONTRIBUTING.md](/CONTRIBUTING.md) if you want to help out!

 ### Usage
 
-You'll most likely want to use it only in the production environment. Check out the [env docs](http://babeljs.io/docs/usage/babelrc/#env-option) for more help.
+> note: minify is still in beta, so we don't recommend using it for production code but rather the production environment.
+
+When testing, it's recommended to run minifiers for production so less code is sent to end-users vs. in development where it can be an issue for readability when debugging. Check out the [env docs](http://babeljs.io/docs/usage/babelrc/#env-option) for more help.
 
 > Options specific to a certain environment are merged into and overwrite non-env specific options.
