+
+
+This program was written for a friend, and consists of a very minimal cellar management system.
+
+Wine bottles can be added, edited, viewed searched and sorted easily.
+
+This program is intended to run on a computer in a cellar and be used to manage a wine collection.
+
+## The technical standpoint
+
+A php server is spawned and a kiosk firefox window is directed to the main app, which is a bootstrap-based dynamic ajax-reliant app.
+
+Every task is completed through api calls to the php backend, which interfaces with a sqllite database.
+
+All scripts and styles are local, beacuse the app is intended to work offline.
