+The uncompromising code formatter
+=================================
-**Black** is the uncompromising Python code formatter.
-
-By using *Black*, you
-agree to cease control over minutiae of hand-formatting. In return,
-*Black* gives you speed, determinism, and freedom from `pycodestyle`
-nagging about formatting. You will save time and mental energy for
-more important matters.
+By using *Black*, you agree to cede control over minutiae of
+hand-formatting. In return, *Black* gives you speed, determinism, and
+freedom from `pycodestyle` nagging about formatting. You will save time
+and mental energy for more important matters.
*Black* makes code review faster by producing the smallest diffs
possible. Blackened code looks the same regardless of the project
you're reading. Formatting becomes transparent after a while and you
can focus on the content instead.
-.. note::
+Try it out now using the `Black Playground <https://black.vercel.app>`_.
- Black is an early pre-release.
+.. admonition:: Note - this is a beta product
+ *Black* is already `successfully used <https://github.com/psf/black#used-by>`_ by
+ many projects, small and big. *Black* has a comprehensive test suite, with efficient
+ parallel tests, our own auto formatting and parallel Continuous Integration runner.
+ However, *Black* is still beta. Things will probably be wonky for a while. This is
+ made explicit by the "Beta" trove classifier, as well as by the "b" in the version
+ number. What this means for you is that **until the formatter becomes stable, you
+ should expect some formatting to change in the future**. That being said, no drastic
+ stylistic changes are planned, mostly responses to bug reports.
+
+ Also, as a safety measure which slows down processing, *Black* will check that the
+ reformatted code still produces a valid AST that is effectively equivalent to the
+ original (see the
+ `Pragmatism <./the_black_code_style/current_style.html#pragmatism>`_
+ section for details). If you're feeling confident, use ``--fast``.

Testimonials
------------
+**Mike Bayer**, author of `SQLAlchemy <https://www.sqlalchemy.org/>`_:
+
+ *I can't think of any single tool in my entire programming career that has given me a
+ bigger productivity increase by its introduction. I can now do refactorings in about
+ 1% of the keystrokes that it would have taken me previously when we had no way for
+ code to format itself.*
+
**Dusty Phillips**, `writer <https://smile.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=dusty+phillips>`_:
*Black is opinionated so you don't have to be.*

*An auto-formatter that doesn't suck is all I want for Xmas!*
*This vastly improves the formatting of our code. Thanks a ton!*
