+# Headplane
+> An advanced UI for [juanfont/headscale](https://github.com/juanfont/headscale)
+
+Headscale is a self-hosted version of the Tailscale control server, however, it currently lacks a first-party web UI.
+This is a relatively tiny SvelteKit app that aims to provide a usable GUI for the Headscale server.
+It's still very early in it's development, however these are some of the features that are planned.
+
+- [ ] Editable tags, machine names, users, etc
+- [ ] ACL control through Docker integration
+- [ ] OIDC based login for the web UI
+- [ ] Automated API key regeneration
+- [ ] Editable headscale configuration
+
+## Deployment
+Instructions for deploying this will come soon. It will utilize Docker to support advanced features.
+
+## Contributing
+If you would like to contribute, please install a relatively modern version of Node.js and NPM.
+Clone this repository, run `npm install`, and then run `npm run dev` to start the development server.
