 ## Running the shell/apps locally

-    nix-shell$ kiwmi -c init.lua 
+Eufon is intendfed for phones, but you may prefer to develop on a
+desktop device of some kind, especially if you're changing C code and
+have that edit/compile run cycle to go round. You can start the shell
+locally with
 
-This works on desktop or on mobile - Kiwmi is built on wlroots, which
-will open a window on your existing Wayland or X11 desktop if you're
-running one.
+     $ nix-shell --run "kiwmi -c init.lua"
 
-If you're connected over ssh and want to run Kiwmi on the console,
-further contortions are required as you don't have the permissions
-by default: run this before attempting to start Kiwmi
-
-     nix-shell -p seatd --run "sudo -b seatd -u $USER"
+`shell.nix` sets `LUA_PATH` and `LUA_CPATH` settings appropriately -
+if you want to write a real derivation (I'll get to it eventually)
+you'll need to sort that out yourself. Nix generates a wrapper script
+for the Lua interpreter itself, but it doesn't do the same for kiwmi.
 
 ## Connecting to the repl
 
-By default Eufon opens a Unix socket to which you can connect to
-interact with a Fennel REPL. The `eufonctl` script is a wrapper around
