+## Development
+
+This project really only has a few guidelines to follow:
+
+- Focus on the end-user's privacy and experience.
+- Keep the codebase minimal and, ideally, package-free.
+- Follow the [PHP Style Guide](https://gist.github.com/ryansechrest/8138375).
+
+## Reporting Bugs
+
+I don't use a report template, so just remember to give as much detail as 
+possible about the bug you're experiencing. If there's not enough detail 
+reported, emails will need to be exchanged before anyone can look into the bug.
