+# node-postgres docs website
+
+This is the documentation for node-postgres which is currently hosted at [https://node-postgres.com](https://node-postgres.com).
+
+## Development
+
+To run the documentation locally, you need to have [Node.js](https://nodejs.org) installed. Then, you can clone the repository and install the dependencies:
+
+```bash
+cd docs
+yarn
+```
+
+Once you've installed the deps, you can run the development server:
+
+```bash
+yarn dev
+```
+
+This will start a local server at [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000) where you can view the documentation and see your changes.
