 # Halogen Template
 
-This is a template for starting a fresh project with the [Halogen](https://github.com/slamdata/purescript-halogen) library for writing declarative, type-safe user interfaces.
+### Quick Start
+```sh
+git clone https://github.com/purescript-halogen/purescript-halogen-template.git halogen-project
+cd halogen-project
+npm install
+npm run build
+npm run serve
+```

+### Introduction
+
+This is a template for starting a fresh project with the [Halogen](https://github.com/purescript-halogen/purescript-halogen) library for writing declarative, type-safe user interfaces.
 
 You can learn more about Halogen with these resources:
 
 - The [Halogen documentation](https://github.com/purescript-halogen/purescript-halogen/tree/master/docs), which includes a quick start guide and a concepts reference.
 - The [Learn Halogen](https://github.com/jordanmartinez/learn-halogen) learning repository.

+- The [Real World Halogen](https://github.com/thomashoneyman/purescript-halogen-realworld) application and guide. Note that the published article is written for the older halogen v4, but the code and comments cover the current halogen v5.
 - The [API documentation](https://pursuit.purescript.org/packages/purescript-halogen) on Pursuit
 
 You can chat with other Halogen users on the [PureScript Discourse](https://discourse.purescript.org), or join the [Functional Programming Slack](https://functionalprogramming.slack.com) ([invite link](https://fpchat-invite.herokuapp.com/)) in the `#purescript` and `#purescript-beginners` channels.

+If you notice any problems with the below setup instructions, or have suggestions on how to make the new-user experience any smoother, please create an issue or pull-request.

+Compatible with PureScript compiler 13.x

+### Launching the App
+
+You can launch your app in the browser with:
 
 ```sh
-# An alias for `spago bundle-app --to dist/app.js`
-npm run bundle
+# An alias for `parcel dev/index.html --out-dir dev-dist --open`
+npm run serve
 ```
 
-This deposits a bundled JS file named `app.js` in the `dist` directory. You can view your running Halogen app by opening the `dist/index.html` file.
+### Development Cycle
 
-Alternatively, if you use an editor that supports `purs ide` or if you are running [`pscid`](https://github.com/kRITZCREEK/pscid), then you can get near-instant builds of the app while you work:
+If you're using an [editor](https://github.com/purescript/documentation/blob/master/ecosystem/Editor-and-tool-support.md#editors) that supports [`purs ide`](https://github.com/purescript/purescript/tree/master/psc-ide) or are running [`pscid`](https://github.com/kRITZCREEK/pscid), you simply need to keep the previous `npm run serve` command running in a terminal. Any save to a file will trigger an incremental recompilation, rebundle, and web page refresh, so you can immediately see your changes.
 
+If your workflow does not support automatic recompilation, then you will need to manually re-run `npm run build`. Even with automatic recompilation, a manual rebuild is occasionally required, such as when you add, remove, or modify module names, or notice any other unexpected behavior.
+
+### Production
+
+When you are ready to create a minified bundle for deployment, run the following command:
 ```sh
-npm run bundle:watch
+npm run build-prod
 ```
 
-:warning: `purs ide` only rebuilds one module at a time, so sometimes the bundle will end up in an inconsistent state, resulting in runtime errors. This occurs when a change is made in one module that breaks other modules that depend on it. The solution is to run a full build when a change like this is made, as the compiler will force you to resolve those errors.
+Parcel output appears in the `./dist/` directory.
+
+You can test the production output locally with a tool like [`http-server`](https://github.com/http-party/http-server#installation). It seems that `parcel` should also be able to accomplish this, but it unfortunately will only serve development builds locally.
+```sh
+npm install -g http-server
+http-server dist -o
+```
+
+If everything looks good, you can then upload the contents of `dist` to your preferred static hosting service.
