+# Story Architect Flake
+
+This flake packages the [Story Architect](https://github.com/story-apps/starc) AppImage.
+
+## Build
+
+```txt
+nix build
+```
+
+## Developing
+
+```txt
+nix develop
+nix run .#dev
+```
+
+The `nix run .#dev` command will download the AppImage used for building.
+It can then be inspected locally with tools like `file` and `appimage-run`, which are offered by the `nix develop` command.
