 # Fluksio App
 
-Fluksio has the goal to build a revolutionary system to tackle any sort of automation challenge.
+Fluksio is a node-based automation software that brings trust and reliability to your flow.
+It just works and looks good.
 
 The core of Fluksio: a node-based, test-driven automation software built to scale. This
 repo holds the FastAPI backend, the flow engine, and the dashboard SPA. It is served on
-`app.${DOMAIN}` (SPA) and `api.${DOMAIN}` (API); the marketing site lives in the sibling
-`index` repo.

 ## Install without Docker
 
+Get started quickly by running
+
 ```sh
 pip install fluksio
-fluksio serve                       # ~/.fluksio, SQLite, prints an admin password once
-fluksio enroll <code> --portal https://hub.fluksio.com   # watch it from the portal
+fluksio serve
 ```
 
-Nothing else has to be running. `--data-dir` puts the installation somewhere else —
-worth it on a cluster, where `$HOME` is often a network filesystem SQLite cannot use.
-`git` is not required but is worth having: flows are files either way, and it is what
-turns each save into a commit.
-The dashboard is served by the portal, so a machine with no inbound route is reached
-without opening a port: it dials out.
+Then, head over to [fluksio.com](https://fluksio.com), sign up and add a new installation.
+Using the code provided, run
 
+```sh
+fluksio enroll <code> 
+```
+
+and you're ready to rock.
+
+Fluksio is distributed at it's heart.
 A machine that should only *run nodes* for an engine elsewhere installs less:
