-A python toolkit to manipulate elastic constants of materials. 
+A python toolkit to manipulate strain and strain tensors, and other linear elasticity-related tensors (e.g. stiffness). 
 This package also provides a collection of easy-to-use and very fast tools to work on stress and strain tensors.
 
+## Main features
+Among other features, this package implements:
+
+- Computation of elasticity tensors,
+- Analysis of elastic anisotropy and wave propagation,
+- Working with multidimensional arrays of strain and stress tensors,
+- Rotation of tensors,
+- Integration with crystal symmetry groups,
+- Visualization and tutorials for ease of use,
+- A graphical user interface to plot the spatial dependence of engineering constants.
