+# Instructions
+
+Generate new db.
+
+    python3 initdb.py
+
+Run server.
+
+    FLASK_APP=pastebin.py FLASK_DEBUG=True flask run --host='0.0.0.0'
+
+# Improvements
+I still need to practice these:
+
+* Support editing the title?
+* Fix the private bins problem: they always return 403
+* Support deleting somehow: from an admin panel, or a link on the page?
+* use UUIDs for link instead of sequential integers?
