+We welcome contributions to improve the Tina.io experience!
+
+1. **Fork the Repo**: Work on your own fork to avoid conflicts.
+1. **Branching**: Use `feature/your-feature-name` or `bugfix/your-bugfix-name` for changes.
+1. **Using TinaCMS**: For content changes (e.g., docs), use visual editing with TinaCMS locally (e.g., http://localhost:3000/admin).
+1. **Commits**: Write clear, descriptive messages. Break large changes into multiple commits.
+1. **Code Quality**:
+ - Use Tailwind over inline CSS or styled components.
+ - Follow DRY principles and refactor reusable code.
+ - Comment on calculations or workarounds, and open issues for any technical debt.
+1. **Pull Requests**:
+ - Reference related issues and include screenshots for UI changes.
+ - If no issue exists, create one and link it.
+ - Commit the generated `tina-lock.json` file, and rerun the project locally after merging to update it.
+1. **Review Process**:
+ - Due to Vercel deployment issues, maintainers will recreate your changes on a new branch to test before approval.
+
+Cheers! 🦙

Tina.io – the Website for [TinaCMS](https://github.com/tinacms/tinacms)
+
+Source code for the tina.io website, including the TinaCMS documentation and blog.
-Source code for the [tina.io](https://tina.io) website.
+Found a bug? Create a PBI and we'll look into it.
-## Development
-```
+## 🧿 Vision
+
+Make a wesbite to communicate the awesomeness of TinaCMS.
+
+## 🛠️ Tech Stack
+
+Static web application built with...
+
+- [React](https://reactjs.org/)
+- [Next.js](https://nextjs.org/)
+- [TypeScript](https://www.typescriptlang.org/)
+- [Tailwind CSS](https://tailwindcss.com/)
+
+for Node versions, check [this](https://tina.io/docs/setup-overview/) docs page.
+
+- and of course... [TinaCMS](https://github.com/tinacms/tinacms)! 🦙
+
+Hosting and deployment...
+
+- GitHub and [Vercel](https://vercel.com/)
+
+
+
+## 🛠️ Dependency Installation + Setup
+
+We're using [pnpm](https://pnpm.io/) as the package manager for node.
+
+```bash
cp .env.example .env
pnpm i
+```
+
+**Note**: Python is required for gyp – install [python](https://www.python.org/downloads/) and if necessary (newer python versions) the [setup tools](https://stackoverflow.com/a/77638742).
+
+
+
+## 🧑🏻💻 Running the Project
+```bash
pnpm dev
```
+This will spin up the react/Next project locally, running on [localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000) (react app) and [localhost:4001](http://localhost:4001/graphql) (playground for testing graphql against the Tina datalayer).

+## Not Familiar with Tina?
+We've put together a simple explanation of the project directory – in [_docs/Directory-Structure](_docs/Directory-Structure.md).
-### Testing Local TinaCMS Changes
+This should give you an idea of how it all fits into the project.
-If you have the **tinacms** repository cloned locally you can use it when running **tina.io**:
+Additionally, the Tina [docs](https://tina.io/docs/) contains the usage details for development with Tina.
