+### Custom Configuration
+
+> **TL;DR** Currently in progress. See [#56](https://github.com/developit/preact-cli/pull/56)
+
+#### Browserslist
+
+You may customize your list of supported browser versions by declaring a [`"browserslist"`](https://github.com/ai/browserslist) key within your `package.json`. Changing these values will modify your JavaScript (via [`babel-preset-env`](https://github.com/babel/babel-preset-env#targetsbrowsers)) and your CSS (via [`autoprefixer`](https://github.com/postcss/autoprefixer)) output.
+
+By default, `preact-cli` emulates the following config:
+
+```js
+// package.json
+{
+  "browserslist": [
+    "> 1%", 
+    "IE >= 9",
+    "last 2 versions"
+  ]
+}
+```
