+# Snipt
+
+This is the codebase for the website, [Snipt.net](https://snipt.net/).
+
+It's a relatively well-kept Django app, so you shouldn't have too many problems
+getting a local copy running.
+
+# Running the Django app
+
+1. Clone the repo.
+2. Setup a virtualenv.
+3. `pip install -r requirements`
+4. Copy local_settings-template.py to local_settings.py and edit the settings.
+5. Run it!
