+## Development
+
+Feel free to clone this project and submit Merge Requests or just fork it and make it your own!
+
+You will need the following tools/libraries to develop Overseer:
+
+* node.js
+* NPM
+* Grunt.js
+* Git (not strictly required but ideal)
+
+Other than that, you should be good to go! You can start the development server with `nodemon` to auto-reload changes:
+
+`npm run nodemon`
+
+And to auto-compile asset changes (e.g. SASS and JS):
+
+`npm run grunt watch`
+
+If all went well, you should be able to visit http://localhost:3000/ in your browser and see the dashboard.
