+# Tubo
+
+Tubo is an alternative web front-end to various streaming sites. It aims to free users from the world of ad-ridden streaming sites by providing a distraction-free interface to consume content from. It currently supports the following platforms:
+
+- YouTube
+- SoundCloud
+- media.ccc.de
+- PeerTube
+- Bandcamp
+
+To retrieve the data, it leverages the excellent [NewPipe Extractor](https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipeExtractor) library that powers the popular [NewPipe](https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe) Android app. Tubo exposes the extracted data over a REST API that is consumed by a local re-frame SPA.
+
+The ultimate goal behind Tubo is to replicate the Newpipe experience on the web, so that it's accessible to those that don't use an Android device.
+
+
+## Installation
+
+The easiest way to set up Tubo's dependencies is via the [GNU Guix](https://guix.gnu.org/) package manager. Simply invoke what follows:
+
+ cd /path/to/tubo
+ guix shell
+
+To run the application, first compile the downloader ahead-of-time.
+
+ clojure -M -e "(compile 'tubo.downloader-impl)"
+
+Fetch the front-end dependencies and build the front-end assets.
+
+ npm i
+ npm run build
+
+Then, compile the front-end.
+
+ clojure -M:frontend compile tubo
+
+You can now start a local server that listens on port 3000 by running the following:
+
+ clojure -M:run
+
+Access the front-end in your browser at `http://localhost:3000`.
