+The code is very easy. Just clone the repo and have look!
+Use the `.jscrc` for formatting the code and keep it clean and consistent.
+
+There are just some js libraries:
+- [ejs](https://ejs.co/) is used for templating. The templates are in `app/js/templates.js`.
+- [sorttable.js](http://www.kryogenix.org/code/browser/sorttable/) to sort the table containing th files.
+- [jQuery](https://jquery.com/), because it's still cool to have it, even if everyone says it's dead and we should do without.
+- [bootstrap](https://getbootstrap.com/) for the layout
+- [PNotify](https://github.com/sciactive/pnotify) for generic notifications
