 # Spee.ch
 
-spee.ch is a node-based web server that uses a lbrynet daemon to interact with the lbry network.
+This repo packages the spee.ch server for use with spee.ch implementations.
 
-##Installation
+## Installation
+visit [lbryio/www.spee.ch](https://github.com/lbryio/www.spee.ch) to get started
 
-* start spee.ch
-	* clone this repo
-	* run `npm install`
-	* create your `
-	speechConfig.js` file
-	  * copy `speechConfig.js.example` and name it `speechConfig.js`
-	  * replace the `null` values in the config file with the appropriate values for your environment
-	* build the app by running `npm run build-prod`
-	* to start the server, run `npm run start`
-* visit [localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000)
-* start spee.ch-sync (optional, recommended)
-    * Note: this tool will decode blocks from the `lbry` blockchain and update the Claim and Certificate tables in mysql with all the claims from the blockchain.  This is not necessary if you only want to host and resolve content published through your version of spee.ch, but it is required if you want to retrieve and host other content from the lbry network.
-    * install and run this [`speech-sync`](https://github.com/billbitt/spee.ch-sync) tool
+## Development / Structure 
+* the `server/` folder contains all of the server code
+  * `index.js` is the entry point for the server.  It creates the [express app](https://expressjs.com/), requires the routes, syncs the database, and starts the server listening on the `PORT` designated in the config file. This file is the entry point for webpack to build the server bundle.
+  * the `server/routes` folder contains all of the routes for the express app
+  * the `server/models` folder contains all of the models which the app uses to interact with the `mysql` database.  Note: this app uses the [sequelize](http://docs.sequelizejs.com/) orm.
+* webpack
+  * During the build process, webpack creates a bundle for this project at `index.js`: 
 
 ## Tests
-* Spee.ch uses `mocha` with `chai` for testing.  
+* This package uses `mocha` with `chai` for testing.  
 * To run all tests that do not require LBC, run `npm test -- --grep @usesLbc --invert`
 * To run all tests, including those that require LBC (like publishing), simply run `npm test`

+### Stack
 The spee.ch stack is MySQL, Express.js, Node.js, React.js.  Spee.ch runs lbrynet on its server, and spee.ch uses the lbrynet api to make requests such as `publish`, `create_channel`, and `get`.
 
-spee.ch also runs a sync tool, which decodes the lbry blocks as they are mined and stores the claims in a mysql.  It stores all claims in the `Claims` table, and all channel claims in the `Certificates` table.
