-This template should help get you started developing with Vue 3 in Vite.
-
-## Recommended IDE Setup
-
-[VSCode](https://code.visualstudio.com/) + [Volar](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Vue.volar) (and disable Vetur) + [TypeScript Vue Plugin (Volar)](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Vue.vscode-typescript-vue-plugin).
-
-## Type Support for `.vue` Imports in TS
-
-TypeScript cannot handle type information for `.vue` imports by default, so we replace the `tsc` CLI with `vue-tsc` for type checking. In editors, we need [TypeScript Vue Plugin (Volar)](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Vue.vscode-typescript-vue-plugin) to make the TypeScript language service aware of `.vue` types.
-
-If the standalone TypeScript plugin doesn't feel fast enough to you, Volar has also implemented a [Take Over Mode](https://github.com/johnsoncodehk/volar/discussions/471#discussioncomment-1361669) that is more performant. You can enable it by the following steps:
-
-1. Disable the built-in TypeScript Extension
-    1) Run `Extensions: Show Built-in Extensions` from VSCode's command palette
-    2) Find `TypeScript and JavaScript Language Features`, right click and select `Disable (Workspace)`
-2. Reload the VSCode window by running `Developer: Reload Window` from the command palette.
-
-## Customize configuration
-
-See [Vite Configuration Reference](https://vitejs.dev/config/).
-
-## Project Setup
-
-```sh
-npm install
-```
-
-### Compile and Hot-Reload for Development
-
-```sh
-npm run dev
-```
-
-### Type-Check, Compile and Minify for Production
-
-```sh
-npm run build

+# Cista Vue Frontend
+
+The frontend is a Single-Page App implemented with Vue 3. Development uses the Vite server together with the main Python backend, but in production the latter also serves the prebuilt frontend files.
+
+```fish
+npm install
+npm run dev
+```

+
+```sh

+
+Note: you need to run the `cista --dev -l :8000` backend server, where Vite will forward the API requests, concurrently in another terminal.
+
+### Type-Check, Compile and Minify for Production
+
+```sh
+npm run build
+```
+
+This is also called by `hatch build` during Python packaging.
