 # `reconcile-text`: conflict-free 3-way text merging
 
-A Rust, TypeScript, and Python library for merging conflicting text edits without manual intervention. Unlike traditional 3-way merge tools that produce conflict markers, `reconcile-text` automatically resolves conflicts by applying both sets of changes (while updating cursor positions) using an algorithm inspired by Operational Transformation.
+Merge a common parent and two edited versions into one text, without conflict markers. `reconcile-text` combines changes from both sides and updates any cursor positions you pass in. It is available as a library for Rust, JavaScript/TypeScript, and Python.
+
+It is built for syncing text files when all you have are snapshots: the document before editing and the two versions it became. The merge needs no saved operation history or persistent document metadata beyond that parent text.
