-## Tor Hidden Service (.onion)
-
-Tor is bundled in `docker-compose.yml` and preconfigured as long as COMPOSE_PROFILES=f0ckm-tor is set with a hidden service pointing to the application (`f0ckm:1337`).
-
-When running `docker compose up -d`, Tor automatically generates a `.onion` address for your node. You can find your onion address by running:
-
-```bash
-cat ./f0ckm-data/tor/f0ckm_hs/hostname
-```
-
-### Automatic Onion-Location Header
-
-To advertise your `.onion` address to Tor Browser users visiting your clearnet site, add your `.onion` address to `config.json`:
-
-```json
-"main": {
-  "onion": "http://yourgeneratedaddress.onion"
-}

+
+Everything you need to build a Svelte project, powered by [`sv`](https://github.com/sveltejs/cli).
+
+## Creating a project
+
+If you're seeing this, you've probably already done this step. Congrats!
+
+```sh
+# create a new project
+npx sv create my-app
+```
+
+To recreate this project with the same configuration:
+
+```sh
+# recreate this project
+npx sv@0.16.3 create --template minimal --types ts --install npm .
+```
+
+## Developing
+
+Once you've created a project and installed dependencies with `npm install` (or `pnpm install` or `yarn`), start a development server:
+
+```sh
+npm run dev
+
+# or start the server and open the app in a new browser tab
+npm run dev -- --open
+```
+
+## Building
+
+To create a production version of your app:
+
+```sh
+npm run build
+```
+
+You can preview the production build with `npm run preview`.
+
+> To deploy your app, you may need to install an [adapter](https://svelte.dev/docs/kit/adapters) for your target environment.
