+## Project Structure
+
+Loosely inspired by the organization of [WTFDial](https://github.com/benbjohnson/wtf?tab=readme-ov-file#project-structure), 
+- Application domain types reside in the project root (User, UserService, etc)
+- Implementations of the application domain reside in the subpackages `sqlite`, `http`, etc.
+- Everything is tied together in the `cmd` subpackages
+
+
+### Application Domain
+
+This is project is an Indie reader inspired by [Feedi](https://github.com/facundoolano/feedi). 
+
+
+### Implementation Subpackages
+
+The subpackages function as an adapter between our domain and the technology used to implement the domain. For example `sqlite.FeedService` implements the `ratchet.FeedService` using SQLite.
+
+Subpackages ideally **SHOULD NOT** know about one another and **SHOULD** communicate in terms of the application domain.
+
+A special `mock` packages can be used to create simple mocks for each application domain interface. This will allow each subpackages unit tests to share a common set of mocks so layers can be tested in isolatation.
+
+### Binary Packages
+
+With loosely coupledc subpackages the application is wired together in the `cmd` subpackages to produce a final binary.
+
+The `cmd` packages are ultimately the interface between the application domain and the operator. Configuration of types and any CLI flags *SHOULD* live in these packages.
+
+## Development
+
+You can build `ratchet` locally by cloning the respository, then run
+
+`make`
+`go install ./cmd/...`
+
+The `ratchetd` cmd binary uses Oauth so you will need to create a new Oauth App. The vlaue of the authorization callback must be the hostname and IP at which clients can access the `ratchetd` server.
