-# Getting Started with Serverless Stack (SST)
+# SST Demo Notes App [![Seed Status](https://api.seed.run/serverless-stack/demo-notes-app/stages/prod/build_badge)](https://console.seed.run/serverless-stack/demo-notes-app)
 
-This project was bootstrapped with [Create Serverless Stack](https://docs.serverless-stack.com/packages/create-serverless-stack).
+The [Serverless Stack Guide](https://serverless-stack.com/#guide) is a comprehensive open source tutorial for building and deploying full-stack apps using serverless and React on AWS.
 
-Start by installing the dependencies.
+We create a [note taking app](https://demo.serverless-stack.com) from scratch. Using React.js, AWS Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, and Cognito.
+
+![Demo App](screenshot.png)
+
+This repo is a full-stack serverless app built with [SST](https://github.com/serverless-stack/serverless-stack).
+
+- The `lib/` directory defines our AWS infrastructure using AWS CDK.
+- The `src/` directory contains the Lambda functions that power the CRUD API.
+- The `frontend/` directory contains the React app.
+
+It's a single-page React app powered by a serverless CRUD API. We also cover how add user authentication, handle file uploads, and process credit card payments with Stripe.
