 ## Development notes
-A fresh virtual environment is suggested for development:
+The website is built with ["vanilla JS"](http://vanilla-js.com/) and uses the [cytoscape.js](https://js.cytoscape.org/)
+library for graph visualisation. The full code runs in the browser, but in order to make it able to access the data, it
+needs to run in a local webserver. You can either use such a webserver as provided by your IDE (e.g. the
+[Live Server extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ritwickdey.LiveServer)) for VS Code,
+or use Python's built-in webserver:
+```
+python -m http.server
+```
+
+Python is also used to pre-process and validate the data when simulator descriptions are changed in one of the YAML files.
+
+If you want to work on that part, we suggest a virtual environment for development:
 ```
 python -m venv .venv
 source .venv/bin/activate
 ```
 One can also use `conda` and other tools to set up virtual environments.
 
-This project is an app built using [Holoviz Panel](https://panel.holoviz.org/).
-You can install it using
+To install the dependencies, you can use:
 ```
 python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
 ```
-To run the app, use:
-```
-panel serve --show src/project_browser.py --static-dirs assets=./assets
-```
-This will open a browser window with the app.
-Firefox/Chrome based browsers are supported.
-Please file an issue if the app does not work with your browser.
