 The app is currently under active development, if you would like to try it out, please be aware that things are will be breaking at a rapid pace.
 
+# Installation
+
+* Clone the repository
+`git clone git://github.com/swanson/stringer.git`
+
+* Deploy to Heroku
+`heroku create`
+`heroku addons:add scheduler`
+`git push heroku master`
+
+* Setup the database
+`heroku run rake db:migrate`
+`heroku restart` (needed for DelayedJob)
+
+* Setup feed fetching
+`heroku addons:open scheduler`
+Add an hourly task that runs `rake fetch_feeds`
+
+* Follow the app setup
+`heroku open`
+
+# Niceities
+
+* Custom `reader.yourdomain.com`
+`heroku domains:add reader.yourdomain.com`
+
+Go to your registrar and add a CNAME:
+Record: CNAME
+Name: reader
+Target: your-heroku-instance.herokuapp.com
+
+Wait a few minutes for changes to progate.
+
+* Avoid dyno idle
+Single dyno Heroku apps idle after a period of inactivity.
+
+You can setup a ping/availability service to prevent this.
+
+# Development
+
+Run the tests with `rspec`.
+
+In development, stringer uses sqlite - there are issues with locking if you run background jobs at the same time as queries are being made via the web app. If you run into these, consider using postgres locally.
