+This repository contains the code for the TALK-tool that is being developed as part of the Multiple Scales and Extreme Events (MSX) project.
 
-The tool that is presented in this repository is a simple web application, written in Dash (Plotly), that allows users to interactivaly create word clouds. The idea is that multiple users who work together in a team can do this together, and use the word clouds created by each participant to start/facilitate a discussion about the meaning of the terminology used within the team.

+Set the environment variable MSX_SECRET_KEY to the secret key you want to use for your server (this can be a random string of characters). On Linux: `export MSX_SECRET_KEY=...`, on Windows: `set MSX_SECRET_KEY=...`, and replace `...` with your secret key.
+
 To run the development server locally, execute `python scripts/run_debug_server.py`, and
