+# Leptos Client-Side Rendered (CSR) App Starter Template
+
+This is a template for use with the [Leptos] web framework using the [Trunk]
+tool to compile and serve your app in development.
+
+## Creating your repo from the template
+
+This template requires you to have `cargo-generate` and `trunk` installed.
+[`leptosfmt`](https://github.com/bram209/leptosfmt) is optional but highly
+recommended. You can install them with
+
+```sh
+cargo install cargo-generate trunk leptosfmt
+```
+
+To set up your project with this template, run
+
+```sh
+cargo generate --git https://github.com/leptos-rs/start-trunk
+```
+
+to generate your new project, then
+
+```sh
+cd {{project-name}}
+```
+
+to go to your newly created project.
+
+By default, this template uses Rust `nightly` and requires that you've installed
+the `wasm` compilation target for your toolchain.
+
+Sass and Tailwind are also supported by the Trunk build tool, but are optional
+additions: [see here for more info on how to set those up with
+Trunk][trunk-instructions].
+
+If you don't have Rust nightly, you can install it with
+
+```sh
+rustup toolchain install nightly --allow-downgrade
+```
+
+You can add the `wasm` compilation target to rust using
+
+```sh
+rustup target add wasm32-unknown-unknown
+```
+
+## Developing your Leptos CSR project
+
+To develop your Leptos CSR project, running
+
+```sh
+trunk serve --port 3000 --open
+```
+
+will open your app in your default browser at `http://localhost:3000`.
+
+## Deploying your Leptos CSR project
+
+To build a Leptos CSR app for release, use the command
+
+```sh
+trunk build --release
+```
+
+This will output the files necessary to run your app into the `dist` folder; you
+can then use any static site host to serve these files.
+
+For further information about hosting Leptos CSR apps, please refer to [the
+Leptos Book chapter on deployment available here][deploy-csr].
