+A forum for the year 3000.
+
+## What you will need to get started
+
+This project uses [node][node] for most of its development processes.
+Once you have node installed according to the instructions there, run
+`npm install` from the root of the project.
+
+For local development serve the page by running `npm run dev` from the
+root of the project.
+
+This project depends on the [forum server][forum-server], so make sure
+that's running before starting.
+
+## Testing
+
+You can run tests with `npm test`. The tests use `testing-library` and
+`jest`.
+
+Here's some short guidelines:
+  - Every component that receives props or changes state should be tested.
+  - Test expected outcomes, not implementation details.
+  - Avoid mocking unless it's an external call
