 # Grosolo
-A super fast forum software written in Go
+
+A super fast forum software written in Go.
+
+The initial code-base was forked from one of my side projects, and converted from the web framework it was using.
+
+
+
+# Dependencies
+
+Go. The programming language this program is written in, and the compiler which it requires. You will need to install this.
+
+MySQL Database. You will need to setup a MySQL Database somewhere. A MariaDB Database works equally well, and is much faster than MySQL.
+
+
+# Installation Instructions
+
+**Run the following commands:**
+
+go install github.com/go-sql-driver/mysql
+
+go install golang.org/x/crypto/bcrypt
+
+go run errors.go main.go pages.go post.go routes.go topic.go user.go utils.go
+
+
+The last command is run whenever you want to start-up an instance of the software.
+
+# TO-DO
+
+Oh my, you caught me right at the start of this project. There's nothing to see here yet, asides from the absolute basics. You might want to look again later!
+
+
+More moderation features.
+
+Fix the login system. It broke during the switch in frameworks.
+
+Add an alert system.
+
+Add a report feature.
+
+Add a complex permissions system.
+
+Add a settings system.
+
+Add a plugin system.
