+# 🌟 Starify Discord 🌟
+starify-discord is a node.js module with a customizable framework that makes it easy to create and manage starboards!
+
+## ✨ Features
+- very customizable!
+- very easy to use!
+- support for multiple databases (SQLite, Postgres, MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, MariaDB)!
+- ability to have "secret" starboards that only work in specific channels!
+- ability to restrict starboards to members with a certain role or ignore a certain role!
+- and more!
+
+## Example Usage
+
+### Setup:
+```js
+const Discord = require("discord.js");
+const { StarboardsManager } = require("starify-discord");
+
+const client = new Discord.Client({ intents: [Discord.Intents.FLAGS.GUILDS, Discord.Intents.FLAGS.GUILD_MESSAGES, Discord.Intents.FLAGS.GUILD_MESSAGE_REACTIONS] });
+
+client.starboardManager = new StarboardsManager(client, {
+    storage: {
+        type: "sqlite",
+        file: "./starboards.sqlite",
+        name: "database",
+        username: "user",
+        password: "password",
+        host: "localhost",
+    },
+    default: {
+        emoji: "⭐",
+        color: "#f0ec0e",
+        selfStar: false,
+        botStar: false,
+        ignoreMembers: null,
+        ignoreMessages: null,
+    },
+});
+```
+
+### Create a starboard:
+```js
+client.starboardManager.create({
+    channelID: message.channelId,
+    emoji: "⭐",
+    threshold: 10,
+    color: "#f0ec0e",
+    selfStar: false,
+    botStar: false,
+    ignoreMembers: null,
+    ignoreMessages: null,
+});
+```
+
+### Delete a starboard:
+```js
+const starboardID = client.starboardManager.starboards.find(starboard => starboard.channelID == "" && starboard.emoji == "").id;
+client.starboardManager.delete(starboardID);
+```
+
+### Create a secret starboard:
+This `ignoreMessages` function will ignore all messages that aren't from the specified channels!
+```js
+client.starboardManager.create({
+    channelID: message.channelId,
+    emoji: "⭐",
+    threshold: 10,
+    color: "#f0ec0e",
+    selfStar: false,
+    botStar: false,
+    ignoreMembers: null,
+    ignoreMessages: (message => !["channel 1 ID, "channel 2 ID"].includes(message.channelId)),
+});
+```
+
+### Blacklist a role from starboard:
+This `ignoreMembers` function will not count star reactions from members who have the specified role!
+```js
+client.starboardManager.create({
+    channelID: message.channelId,
+    emoji: "⭐",
+    threshold: 10,
+    color: "#f0ec0e",
+    selfStar: false,
+    botStar: false,
+    ignoreMembers: (member => member.roles.cache.has("role ID")),
+    ignoreMessages: null,
+});
+```
+
+### Events:
+```js
+// Fired when a message is added to a starboard
+client.starboardManager.on("starboardMessagePosted", (message, starboard) => {
+    console.log(message); // the message that was posted to the starboard channel
+    console.log(starboard); // the starboard that triggered this
+}
+
+// Fired when a starboard is created
+client.starboardManager.on("starboardCreated", (starboard) => {
+    console.log(starboard); // the starboard that was created
+}
+
+// Fired when a starboard is deleted
+client.starboardManager.on("starboardDeleted", (starboard) => {
+    console.log(starboard); // the starboard that was deleted
+}
+```
+
+## Coming Soon!
+- ability to edit starboard options easily
+- leaderboard for top starboard messages
