+# (r/place)
+
+A real-time, collaborative pixel art platform inspired by Reddit's r/place, implemented in Clojure and ClojureScript.
+
+# Constraints / design choices 
+- No database, delibrately not to use a database or external dependency. This will help us highlight some of the goodness Clojure has to offer. 
+- Project aims to host only one global canvas.
+
+# Architecture
+
+Backend is a HTTP-kit server which serves both HTTP and WebSockets requests.
