+
+napari hub website implemented with Next.js and TypeScript! We use a lot of
+cool frontend tech for the website:
+
+- :zap: [React](https://reactjs.org/) + [Next.js](https://nextjs.org/)
+- :crossed_swords: [TypeScript](https://www.typescriptlang.org/)
+- :art: [SCSS modules](https://github.com/css-modules/css-modules)
+- :nail_care: [Tailwind CSS](https://tailwindcss.com/) for utility styles
+- :racing_car: [Tailwind JIT](https://tailwindcss.com/docs/just-in-time-mode) for on-demand Tailwind styles
+- :package: [pnpm](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm) for package management
+- :camera_flash: [Jest](https://jestjs.io/) + [React Testing Library](https://testing-library.com/docs/react-testing-library/intro) for unit and snapshot tests
+- :performing_arts: [Jest](https://jestjs.io/) + [Playwright](https://github.com/microsoft/playwright) for E2E tests
+- :mag: [ESlint](https://eslint.org/) + [Stylelint](https://stylelint.io/) for TypeScript and SCSS linting
+- :gear: [Plop](https://plopjs.com/documentation/) for boilerplate automation
+
+## Setup Dev Environment
+
+### Node.js
+
+We use Node.js and various packages on NPM for building napari hub. For
+package management, we use [pnpm](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm).
+
+It's recommended you use NVM so you don't have to manage multiple Node.js versions yourself:
+
+- Bash: [nvm](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm)
+- Fish: [nvm.fish](https://github.com/jorgebucaran/nvm.fish)
+- Zsh: [zsh-nvm](https://github.com/lukechilds/zsh-nvm)
+
+When you have NVM setup, run the following commands:
+
+```sh
+# Installs Node.js version defined in `.nvmrc`
+nvm install
+
+# Uses project defined Node.js version
+nvm use
+
+# Install pnpm globally
+npm -g install pnpm
+
+# Install project dependencies
+pnpm install
+```
+
+## Development Mode
+
+To run the app in development mode, run the following command:
+
+```sh
+pnpm dev
+```
+
+This will start the Next.js dev server with [fast refresh](https://nextjs.org/docs/basic-features/fast-refresh). Edit some code and watch it update in the browser without having to refresh :heart_eyes:
+
+## Plop Generators
+
+We use [Plop](https://plopjs.com/documentation/) to automate common
+boilerplate in the codebase. You can run Plop without any arguments and get a
+list of generators you can use:
+
+```sh
+pnpm plop
+```
+
+If you want to use a specific generator, you can pass the name as the first
+argument:
+
+```sh
+# Run component generator
+pnpm plop component
+```
