+
+Dead simple middleware for R Shiny.
+
+## Summary
+
+`tower` is a simple library for adding middleware to Shiny applications.
+It is inspired by the [tower](https://docs.rs/tower/latest/tower/) crate for Rust.
+It is designed to enable package authors and Shiny developers to extend
+Shiny a little bit more than what is usually possible.
+
+You can use  `tower` to add middlewares that forward, modify, or intercept
+requests in Shiny applications. This can be useful for adding logging, authentication,
+caching, or routing to your Shiny applications.
+
+## Installation
+
+You can install the development version of `tower` from GitHub with:
+
+``` r
+# install.packages("remotes")
+remotes::install_github("ixpantia/tower")
+```
+
+## Example
+
+We may want to add a new route to our Shiny application that adds a count
+to a counter every time a user visits the route. We can do this with `tower`
+by adding a middleware that intercepts the request and increments the counter.
+
+``` r
+library(shiny)
+library(tower)
+
+# Counter environment
+COUNTER <- new.env()
+COUNTER$counter <- 0
+
+# Middleware to increment the counter
+increment_counter <- function(req) {
+  if (req$PATH_INFO == "/increment") {
+    COUNTER$counter <- COUNTER$counter + 1
+    return(
+      httpResponse(
+        200,
+        "text/plain",
+        paste("Counter is now", COUNTER$counter)
+      )
+    )
+  }
+}
+
+# A very empty Shiny app (not necessary for the demo)
+ui <- fluidPage()
+server <- function(input, output, session) {}
+
+shinyApp(ui, server) |>
+  create_tower() |>
+  add_http_layer(increment_counter) |>
+  build_tower()
+```
+
+If you run the code above and visit the route `/increment` in your browser,
+you will see the counter increment every time you visit the route.
+
+## How it works
+
+Basically, `tower` adds layers to a Shiny application. A layer is a function
+that takes a request and returns either a response or NULL. If a layer returns
+a response, the response is sent to the client and the request is not forwarded
+to the next layer. If a layer returns NULL, the request is forwarded to the next
+layer.
