+## Development
+
+If you want to create your own build of TailwindCSS JIT CDN, you can fork this repo, clone it, and then run the following commands to get started:
+
+```
+yarn install
+yarn run build
+```
+
+Then, link to your new `dist/tailwindcss-jit-cdn.umd.js` in your project in order to run your build.
+
+## Options
+
+A set of `tailwindOptions` to configure for the JIT CDN. Currently there is only one option available, you can use it as follows:
+
+```
+window.tailwindOptions = {
+    observerElement: document.getElementById('app')
+};
+```
+
+> By default the TailwindCSS JIT CDN will observe your entire page via `document.documentElement`, you can override this option via the `observerElement` property. In the options above the observer will only observe Tailwind classes inside of `app` element. This might be helpful for page speed, user experience, or a few other scenarios.
+
+💡 Have ideas for options you would like to see, let us know.
