+## Introduction
+
+hello is a boilerplate repository.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- nginx with _autoindex_ on and _autoindex_format_ set to _json_ for the repo directory:
+
+    server {
+        listen       8080;
+        server_name  localhost;
+
+        location / {
+            root   /Users/filipp/Projects/hello/templates;
+            autoindex on;
+            autoindex_format json;
+        }
+    }
+
+- the _requests_ HTTP client library (which everyone probably already has installed). _pip install -r requirements.txt_ to install.
+
+## Setup
+
+- Put your boilerplate on a web server
+- Export an environment variabled called _HELLO_REPO_ which points to the directory that contains your boilerplate templates
+
+
+## Usage
+
+Run _hello.py_ with boilerplate name or without the name to get a list of available templates
+
+The boilerplate templates get rendered with all your environment variables as context so feel free to use stuff like $HOME or $PWD or $USER or whatever inside them.
+
+'Nuff said.
+
+## FAQ
+
+- Why not do this as a snippet collection for <insert editor name here>?
+- I keep switching between 4 different editors so I needed something a bit more universal.
