+# Transcend Wifi SD Photo Downloader/Viewer
+
+This Node.js app searches your Transcend Wifi SD and waits for photos to be taken ("Shoot & View"), which it then downloads to a specified folder and displays in a webinterface.
+
+## Usage
+- Make sure you have Node.js installed
+- Copy ```config.json-dist``` to ```config.js``` and edit it to your needs
+- Run ```npm install```
+- Start with ```npm start```
+- Open a browser and access ```http://127.0.0.1:80``` (replace IP and port according to your changes)
+
+If your Wifi SD is on the same network as the one detected/configured, you should see that the card is found and the app is waiting for photos to be taken.
