+Developing Libraries in the Bundle
+==================================
+
+Adafruit CircuitPython libraries are generally installable on a CPython interpreter with `pip` (or other package
+managers). The "Blinka" libraries are compatibility layers to fill in missing pieces that are expected from
+CircuitPython. Unfortunately, some of these compatibility layers may not work in all environments.
+
+Unless you are working with all of the libaries at the same time, the easiest workflow for development is to fork an
+individual library and make your changes there before submitting a PR back to the adafruit repository. If, however, you
+want to programmatically modify all libraries in this bundle, it may be more efficient to do development within this
+repository.
+
+Code Hygiene
+------------
+
+Adafruit libraries are not currently fully typed. If you would like to improve the typing coverage, we suggest
+`installing mypy`_. You can then run mypy from the command line or from within your editor / IDE.
