-## App Archetype
+-   [Getting Started with Electrode](https://electrode.gitbooks.io/electrode/content/chapter1/quick-start/get-started.html)
 
-[electrode-archetype-react-app] is a NPM module that provides for common patterns across all app projects so that each app project can standardize on common development behavior and patterns. Its essentially pre-made patterns for build scripts.  It also requires a companion module [electrode-archetype-react-app-dev] that's meant for your app's `devDependencies`.
+# Documentation
 
-## Yeoman Generator
+The documents for Electrode are maintained as [gitbook documents] in the [docs](/docs) directory.
 
-The Yeoman [generator-electrode] NPM module allows you to quickly create an Universal React App with support from the app archetype, and server in Node with Hapi or Express.
