-## What is Google Earth Engine?
+## Why rgeeExtra is needed?
+
+The goal of rgeeExtra is to improve the user-friendliness of Google Earth Engine (GEE) by 
+simplifying its syntax and enhancing the experience for R users. GEE primarily utilizes JavaScript 
+for its API, which can be quite different from the R programming language. "rgeeExtra" can bridge 
+this gap by providing R users with a set of functions and tools that abstract the intricacies 
+of GEE's JavaScript syntax. This extension provides R users with higher-level abstractions and 
+custom functions that have been reworked from the JavaScript API.
 
-[Google Earth Engine](https://earthengine.google.com/) is a cloud-based platform that allows users to have an easy access to a petabyte-scale archive of remote sensing data and run geospatial analysis on Google's infrastructure. Currently, Google offers support only for Python and JavaScript. `rgee` will fill the gap **starting to provide support to R!**. Below you will find the comparison between the syntax of `rgee` and the two Google-supported client libraries.
