+# Vencord EAS
+
+This is the repo for both the frontend and backend for the Vencord Emergency Alert System.
+
+## Installation
+
+You run the server by:
+1. Installing the `websockets` and `python-dotenv` packages;
+1. Making a `.env` file;
+1. Adding a line with `TOKEN={token}`, with `{token}` being any string that'll be used to broadcast messages;
+1. Running `python main.py`.
+
+## Usage
+
+You can send raw text to the WS server. This text is in form of commands:
+
+- `GET` will reply with a message response;
+- `MSG {token} {message}` will set the message and broadcast it to all logged-in clients;
+- `CLEAR {token}` will clear the current message.
+
+You may receive one of two packets while using the server:
+
+- `MSG {message}` to indicate there's a new message. The client should react by showing an alert with the message. If no message is present, the packet will be `MSG` only. In this case, the client shouldn't react.
+- `OK` indicates the action was successful. The client should react by showing an alert telling the user so.
+
+## Frontend
+
+The frontend is a static HTML page and can be hosted on anything.
