 ## Usage
 
-### Just build
+> This project works by using a Cargo workspace with two projects `rust-letter-fe` and `rust-letter-be`
 
-```
-cargo build
-```
+### Backend
 
-### Start a `dev-server` for the project:
+You can develop the backend by simply running the project from the root directory
 
 ```
 cargo run
 ```
 
-### Package this project:
+Generally, any commands you'd use for any other standard Rust project will work for this.
 
+
+Ex:
 ```
-cargo build --release
+cargo build
 ```
 
-## Ignore This Section
+### Frontend
 
-> **TODO:** Make subcrates for Dioxus and Rocket, should enable dev server for Dioxus while maintaining overall compatibility.
+If you want to develop the Dioxus frontend, you'll need to do the following:
 
-(or, I personally use the following since port `8080` is usually being used and I want hot reloading)
+- [From the official Dioxus docs](https://dioxuslabs.com/docs/0.3/guide/en/getting_started/web), ensure you have `dioxus-cli` and the `wasm32-unknown-unknown` target installed
 
 ```
-dioxus serve --hot-reload --port 8234
+cargo install dioxus-cli
+```
+```
+rustup target add wasm32-unknown-unknown
+```
+- Additionally, you *may* need to have the [Tauri prerequisites](https://tauri.app/v1/guides/getting-started/prerequisites/) installed.
+
+Then, you should be able to run the development server after moving into the `rust-letter-fe` directory.
+
+(Linux example)
+```
+cd rust-letter-fe && dioxus serve
 ```
 
-## Docker
+If you'd link to know about how to use `dioxus-cli`, you should run `dioxus --help` or [reference the official documentation.*](https://github.com/DioxusLabs/cli)
+
+\* At the time of writing this, the link to the documentation is broken. If you'd like to see what I normally use to run the project, here's an example: `dioxus serve --hot-reload --port [port #]`
+
+## Running
+
+> Here are some ways you can run the project
+
+### Cargo
+
+You can either do the standard `run --release`
+
+```
+cargo run --release
+```
+
+Or, referencing the Dockerfile, you can install and then run.
+
+```
+cargo install --path .
+```
+```
+rust-letter
+```
+
+### Docker
 
 You can run this in a container using the included `Dockerfile`.
 
 ```
-docker build -t letter-werefox-cafe .
-docker run -p 3469 -d -t letter-werefox-cafe
+docker build -t rust-letter-werefox-cafe
+docker run -p 3469 -d -t rust-letter-werefox-cafe
 ```
 
 Or, run through docker compose.
