 ## Status
 
-Life is currently in pre-release stage of development. This means that while things are shaping up there are still bugs, app crashes, and missing features. Here's a rough list of features which work already and those that I'd like to add / polish before the initial release:
+Life is in active development. It currently supports following set of features:
 
 - [x] App can run a Game of Life simulation at various speeds with automatically expanding simulation boundaries.
 - [x] User can draw and erase live cells to create patterns in the simulation.

-The app will be released in the [elementary OS AppCenter](https://appcenter.elementary.io/) as a flatpak. However, for now the only way to install it is by building it from the source code.
