Readme (#55)

* Tidied README file

* Fixed some typos

* Small change in title

I changed it back to "Tech stack" because 'technologies' seemed wide enough
that we would have to add Docker, docker-compose, pipenv etc.

* Final touches to the README

 # Programming Buddies API
-API backend for Programming Buddies (projects management)
 
-## Tech Stack
-- Python 3.7
-- Flask
-- MySql
-- pyOpenSSL
+API backend for [Programming Buddies](https://github.com/ProgrammingBuddies/programmingbuddies-ui) (projects management)
 
-## Set up guide
-- Download and install MySQL Community Server from `https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/`
-- `git clone https://github.com/ProgrammingBuddies/programmingbuddies-api.git`
+## Set up guide: The simple way
 
-### The simple way
+- Set up your [environment](#environment)
+- Install [docker-compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/) and do `docker-compose up`
 
-Install docker-compose and do `docker-compose up`. Don't forget to setup your
-.env file.
+## Set up guide: The 'bothersome' way
 
-### Pipenv
-- run `python -m pip install pipenv` to install pipenv
-- run `pipenv install` inside the repository
-- - if you have multiple Python versions installed you might need to specify which one to use `pipenv install --python=python3.7`
+Requirements:
 
-### SSL
-- On Mac or linux install the openssl tool and run `openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -nodes -out cert.pem -keyout key.pem -days 365` inside the repository
-- On windows ... explanation will follow.
+- Set up your [environment](#environment)
+- [MySQL Community Server](`https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/`)
+    - Add line `CONNECT=mysql+pymysql://<user>:<password>@localhost:3306/<database name>` to your [`.env` file](#environment) to specify connection parameters
+- Pipenv
+    1. Run `python -m pip install pipenv` to install pipenv
+    2. Run `pipenv install` inside the repository
+        - If you have multiple Python versions installed you might need to specify which one to use `pipenv install --python=python3.7`
+- SSL
+    1. On Mac or Linux install the openssl tool and run `openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -nodes -out cert.pem -keyout key.pem -days 365` inside the repository
+    2. On Windows ... explanation will follow.
 
-### Environment
-- create a file `.env`
-- - `.env` in this case is the full filename and not just the extension. `app.env` for example would not be loaded automatically by pipenv
-- - add line `FLASK_ENV=development` to have the server automatically restart on file changes
-- - add line `CONNECT=mysql+pymysql://<user>:<password>@localhost:3306/<database name>` to specify connection parameters
+Run the server:
 - `pipenv run python src/runserver.py`
-- - run with flag `--reset-db` to recreate all tables on start
-- add line `APP_SECRET=somepassword` as app secret. This is used to sign sessions among other things and is required
-- Optain credentials for Github
-- - Under your github account Settings go to Developer Settings and OAuth Apps
-- - create a new one and set the homepage url to `https://localhost:5001/` and Authorization callback to `https://localhost:5001/login/github/authorized`
-- - Copy the Client Id and Client Secret from that site and save them in `.env`as `GITHUB_ID` and `GITHUB_SECRET` respectively
+    - Run with flag `--reset-db` to drop and recreate all tables on start
+
+## Environment
+
+1. Create a file named `.env`
+    - Add line `FLASK_ENV=development` to have the server automatically restart on file changes
+2. Add line `APP_SECRET=somepassword` as app secret. This is used to sign sessions among other things and is required
+3. Obtain credentials for GitHub OAuth
+    - Under your GitHub account Settings go to Developer settings and OAuth Apps
+    - Create a new one and set the homepage url to `https://localhost:5001/` and Authorization callback to `https://localhost:5001/login/github/authorized`
+    - Copy the Client Id and Client Secret from that site and save them in `.env` as `GITHUB_ID` and `GITHUB_SECRET` respectively
 
 Your `.env` file should now look something like [example.env](https://github.com/ProgrammingBuddies/programmingbuddies-api/blob/develop/example.env)
 
-## Milestones
-- [ ] build DB and endpoints with basic CRUD
-- [ ] add security for app (ie - bots, and non-human actors/clients)
-- [ ] add users and profile stores as well as registration/management API endpoints for users
