+# rootston
+
+Rootston is the "big" wlroots test compositor. It implements basically every
+feature of wlroots and may be useful as a reference for new compositors.
+However, it's mostly used as a testbed for wlroots development and does not have
+particularly clean code and is not particularly well designed: proceed with a
+grain of salt. It is not designed for end-users.
+
+## Running rootston
+
+If you followed the build instructions in `../README.md`, the rootston
+executable can be found at `build/rootston/rootston`. To use it, refer to the
+example config at [rootston/rootston.ini.example][rootston.ini] and place a
+config file of your own at `rootston.ini` in the working directory (or in an
+arbitrary location via `rootston -C`). Other options are available, refer to
+`rootston -h`.

+# TinyWL
+
+This is the "minimum viable product" Wayland compositor based on wlroots. It
+aims to implement a Wayland compositor in the fewest lines of code possible,
+while still supporting a reasonable set of features. Reading this code is the
+best starting point for anyone looking to build their own Wayland compositor
+based on wlroots.
+
+## Building TinyWL
+
+TinyWL is disconencted from the main wlroots build system, in order to make it
+easier to understand the build requirements for your own Wayland compositors.
+Simply install the dependencies:
+
+- wlroots
+- wayland-protocols
+
+And run `make`.
+
+## Running TinyWL
+
+You can run TinyWL with `./tinywl`. In an existing Wayland or X11 session,
+tinywl will open a Wayland or X11 window respectively to act as a virtual
+display. You can then open Wayland windows by setting `WAYLAND_DISPLAY` to the
+value shown in the logs. You can also run `./tinywl` from a TTY.
+
+In either case, you will likely want to specify `-s [cmd]` to run a command at
+startup, such as a terminal emulator. This will be necessary to start any new
+programs from within the compositor, as TinyWL does not support any custom
+keybindings. TinyWL supports the following keybindings:
+
+- `Alt+Escape`: Terminate the compositor
+- `Alt+F1`: Cycle between windows
