+# Carrier Signal Lost - Client
+
+This is a client for [Carrier Signal Lost][1], just a toy for fooling around
+with TypeScript and websockets - and if I ever get to that, canvas stuff.
+
+## How to run
+
+Make sure you have Carrier Signal Lost running on localhost. Then, run
+`npm run serve` and go to `https://localhost:8080/`.
