+# Private Yacht
+
+This is an [open web app](https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Apps/)
+that provides you with a virtual private yacht.
+Set sail!
+
+The app is hosted right here on
+[github pages](http://kumar303.github.com/yacht/)
+but you must pay
+for it on the
+[Mozilla Marketplace dev site](https://marketplace-dev.allizom.org/app/private-yacht/)
+(no real money is used on the dev site).
+
+This is a demo of how to create a paid app for the Mozilla Marketplace
+and how to use the JavaScript receipt checking library to verify the receipt.
+Check out the
+[receipt verifier library](https://github.com/mozilla/receiptverifier)
+for more info on how to use it. This app invokes the library in
+[www/js/app.js](https://github.com/kumar303/yacht/blob/master/www/js/app.js).
+
+# WARNING
+
+In a popular paid app you'd probably want to use a server side receipt checker,
+like
+[this one in Python](http://receipts.readthedocs.org/en/latest/).
+Otherwise, an attacker can run your app in an apps-enabled browser
+(such as the nightly build of Firefox) and fiddle with the JavaScript
+using the console to gain access to the app. This would be harder to do
+on Android, a B2G phone, or similar open web device.
+
+
+# Mortar
+
+The Private Yacht was built with [Mortar](http://jlongster.github.com/mortar).
+
+"Mortar" is a code name for an Open Web App Bootstrap.
+This project aims to make it easy and quick to start writing Open Wep Apps.
+
+It's a combination of HTML5 tricks (HTML/CSS), js libraries, and
+a little bit of management commands that make it really easy to write and deploy apps.
+
+This should just be a template: you should download this and
+hack it up to be whatever you like. You can delete or add as much stuff as you want.
+
+View the official site [here](http://jlongster.github.com/mortar).
+
+# html5boilerplate
+
+This is a fork from the
+[html5boilerplate](http://html5boilerplate.com/) project, and many of the HTML5
+tricks come from there, so the appropriate authors deserve credit for those.
+
+We don't need to target older browsers, however, so a bunch of IE 6/7
+stuff has been removed and we've added things like marketplace libraries,
+[require.js](http://requirejs.org/), and [volo](https://github.com/volojs/volo).
+Any of those things can be simply ignored though.
+
+h1. Back-end server
+
+This is just a front-end template, but you'll most likely need to set up a
+server for your app. I highly recommend the
+[server-configs](https://github.com/h5bp/server-configs) project from the
+h5b crew which provides really helpful templates for server configurations.
+That should help you get set up quickly.
+
+Apache's `.htaccess` file is already included here since that's the most popular.
+
+# The End
+
+This is very much alpha and will be fleshed out over time.
