 The project comes with diverse tools for simplifying the development process and for providing
 better code quality. It's recommended to make use of them thoroughly during ongoing development. We follow the well-known [Airbnb JavaScript Style Guide](http://airbnb.io/javascript/) for defining
 our styling rules and code best practices.
 
+### lbry-redux
+
+This project uses [lbry-redux](https://github.com/lbryio/lbry-redux) to share Redux code with [lbry-android](https://github.com/lbryio/lbry-android) and other LBRY apps. Over time, more Redux code that is suitable to be shared will be moved into lbry-redux. If modifying Redux code, you may be asked to make some of your changes in lbry-redux rather than lbry-app. The steps to work with lbry-redux locally can be found [here](https://github.com/lbryio/lbry-redux#local-development).

 distributable packages.
 
+#### Resetting your Packages

+If the app isn't building, or `yarn xxx` commands aren't working you may need to just reset your `node_modules`. To do so you can run: `rm -r node_modules && yarn`
