 ## 📦 Crate Features
 
+Customizing the behavior of the Rinf crate is possible through its crate features.
+
 ```toml title="native/hub/Cargo.toml"
 rinf = { version = "0.0.0", features = ["feature-name"] }
 ```
 
-- `multi-worker`: Starts a worker thread for each CPU core available on the system within the `tokio` runtime. By default, the `tokio` runtime uses only one thread. Enabling this feature allows the `tokio` runtime to utilize all the cores on your computer. This feature does not affect applications on the web platform.
+- `multi-worker`: Starts a worker thread for each CPU core available on the system within the `tokio` runtime by enabling its `rt-multi-thread` feature. By default, the `tokio` runtime uses only one thread. Enabling this feature allows the `tokio` runtime to utilize all the cores on your computer. This feature does not affect applications on the web platform.
+- `show-backtrace`: Prints the full backtrace in the CLI when a panic occurs in debug mode. In general, backtrace is not very helpful when debugging async apps, so consider using [`tracing`](https://crates.io/crates/tracing) for logging purposes. Note that this feature does not affect debugging on the web platform.
