-
-This project was generated with \`create-seamless\` and provides a fully local,
-open source authentication stack built on **Seamless Auth**.
-
-It is designed for development environments where you want:
-
-- Passwordless authentication
-- No hosted dependencies
-- No redirects or third-party auth services
-- A production-shaped local setup

-## Running the stack
-
-### Running with Docker (optional)
-
-This project includes a Docker Compose configuration that allows you to run the
-entire Seamless Auth stack locally with a single command.
-
-### Requirements
-
-* Docker
-* Docker Compose
-
-### Start the stack
-
-From the project root, run:
-
-\`\`\`bash
-docker compose up
-\`\`\`
-
-This will start the following services in development mode:
-
-* Postgres database
-* Seamless Auth server
-* API server
-* Web UI
-
-All services are configured with hot reload. Changes to the source code will be
-picked up automatically.
-
-### Access the application
-
-Once all services are running, open:
-
-\`\`\`
-http://localhost:5001
-\`\`\`
-
-This is the main entry point for the web application.
-
-### Stopping the stack
-
-To stop all services:
-
-\`\`\`bash
-docker compose down
-\`\`\`
-
-This will shut down all containers while preserving the local database volume.
-
-Open separate terminals and run each service independently.
-
-### Auth server
-
-\`\`\`bash
-cd auth
-npm run dev
-\`\`\`
-
-Default port: \`5312\`
-
----
-
-### API server
-
-\`\`\`bash
-cd api
-npm run dev
-\`\`\`
-
-Default port: \`3000\`
-
----
-
-### Web application
-
-\`\`\`bash
-cd web
-npm run dev
-\`\`\`
-
-Default port: \`5001\`
