+# releases.electronjs.org
+
+This repository contains code for https://releases.electronjs.org, which provides release status information for
+the [Electron](https://github.com/electron/electron) project.
+
+## Getting started
+
+The website is a simple Node.js app built using [Express](https://expressjs.com/) and [Handlebars.js](https://handlebarsjs.com/).
+
+### Installation
+
+To run the app locally, install dependencies and run the `start` script:
+
+```
+yarn
+yarn start
+```
+
+When developing locally, you may want to use the `watch` script instead, which watches for file changes using [nodemon](https://github.com/remy/nodemon).
+
+### GitHub Authentication
+
+The app pulls release information from GitHub, and local usage (especially going through pages of past releases) may hit the rate limit for anonymous GitHub usage. You can provide a GitHub Personal Access Token (PAT) by setting the `GITHUB_TOKEN` environment variable before running the app locally, which will have higher rate limits.
