-## Extension
+Junction is a web extension for Firefox, Chrome and Safari that lets you start
+an audio call at any URL.
 
-### Testing on Firefox
+## Building
+
+Running `make` or `make package` will regenerate the content script, and
+package the extension for all browsers in the `./build/` directory with
+the following outputs:
+
+- `junction.xpi`: The firefox extension
+- `junction.zip`: The chrome extension
+- `Junction.app`: The safari extension app
+
+## Developing
+
+The project is divided into three main parts:
+
+- `server`: A server that handles message passing to establish the WebRTC
+  connections.
+- `extension`: The main code of the extension itself.
+- `safari`: The safari app, it wraps the extension using symlinks.
+
+### Dependencies
+
+- `make` to run the build commands.
+- `xcode` to build the safari extension.
+- `node` and `pnpm` to build the extension, and if you want to run the server
+  directly.
+- `podman` and `podman-compose` if you want to run the server as a container.
+- `prettier` to format Javascript, JSON, Yaml, and Markdown.
+- `xcbeautify` to format swift
+
+### Server
+
+The server is a socket.io server that relays messages between peers to help
+establish a WebRTC connection.
+
+#### Configuration
+
+You can use environment variables to control the server.
+
+- `JUNCTION_SERVER_PORT` which port to listen on. Defaults to `8000`.
+
+### Extension
+
+The extension uses WebExtension manifest v2 and is compatible with Firefox,
+Chrome and Safari.
+
+You can build all extensions using `make` in the root of the directory.
+
+If you want to run manually then you can run `pnpm install` from the
+`extension` folder to install dependencies, and `pnpm build` to generate the
+content script.
+
+```
