+# Interesting for users
+
+The first part of the README is dedicated to users who want to work with the application.

+# Interesting for developers
+
+This part is intended to give developers some entry points.
+
+## Architecture
+
+This is a nodejs client server application wrappend into an electron app.
+The server is expressjs powered and **currently not suitable for public exposure**.
+The server stores data in a neo4j community edition that needs to be installed locally or accessible remotely.
+
+The frontend is a bunch of pug templates rendered by the expressjs server.
+The editor is an adaption of the mxgraph draw editor. Explicit changes are marked with 'DANIEL'. A diff-view will be provided.
+The custom.js adds necessary custom logic for the autocomplete, backgroundimage and so on.
+
+### Storage process
+The editor is called with GET params for
+ - image: contains the location of the background image (/media/uploaded_images/something.jpg)
+ - image_id: the ID(image) from neo4j
+ - xml_file: same for the xml file (/media/uploaded_xmls/1.xml)
+
+The editor calls /save_xml with the POST params
+ - filename (xml_file.split('/')[-1] in words the name of the xml file from the GET params)
+ - in the body an xml file by name 'xml'
+
+The server overwrites any existing xml with the same name in media/uploaded_xmls/
+
+### mxgraph to neo4j
+If the user wants to transport the mxgraph xml to neo4j she or he has to press the 'Übertrag' link
+
+The server.js invokes codec.js
+ 1. removes the fragment
+ 2. calls mxgraph_to_neo4j(image_id, fragment_id)
+
+For details how the conversion is done see the technical documentation.
 
 ## npm commands
 
  - ```npm run coverage``` creates ./docs/coverage files
  - ```npm run docs``` creates ./docs/api files for ./src/*.js
  - ```npm run test``` runs all tests from ./test/*.js
- - ```npm run server``` runs the src/server.js
+ - ```npm run server``` runs the src/server.js
+ 
+## build instructions
+
+In order to build a bundled electron application for a specific operating system
+electron-packager is used.
+
+If you are on the OS where you want to ship to just do the following steps:
+ - ```npm install``` at least once
+ - ```electron-packager . ``` in the base directory of the repo
+ - zip the created folder and ship it
+
+The deployment to OS X has never been tried so far.
+
+## Logging
+
+The server logs to the following default locations (electron-log)
+
+
+    on Linux: ~/.config/<app name>/log.log
+    on OS X: ~/Library/Logs/<app name>/log.log
+    on Windows: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\<app name>\log.log
