+## About the app and the exercise
+
+This is a web application, which implements a "blog". You are able to create an account, log in and then write blog posts.
+You can also browse and read the blog posts. Take a look through the app, get it running and ideally understand its components.
+If you have notes on the implementation, feel free to bring them to our next interview. 
+
+This app will also serve as a basis for a code review during the next interview, so make sure you understand the code and 
+click through the app. 
+
+## Running the app
+
+1. You can run the app directly with maven
+
+```
+./mvnw spring-boot:run
+```
+
+2. You can also run the app with Docker
+
+```
+docker build -t blog-app .
+docker run -it -p "8088:8088" -p "8082:8082" blog-app
+```
+
+## Navigating the blog
+
+Once the app is started it will be available at [localhost:8088](http://localhost:8088). 
+
+Some initial users and blog posts are already created using Liquibase. 
+
+You can log in the app using the following credentials:
+- Username: john
+- Password: test
+
+Alternatively you can create a new user at [localhost:8088/signup](http://localhost:8088/signup).
+
+Once logged in, you can create blog posts from here [localhost:8088/blog/create](http://localhost:8088/blog/create).
+
+The index page [localhost:8088](http://localhost:8088) will list all blog posts. Then by clicking on one of the blog posts, you
+will be redirected to a page, where you can read the blog post. One example can be found [here](http://localhost:8088/blog/1).
+
+## Application design
+
+This is a simple Spring Boot application, running on Java 11 with an H2 Database. The frontend is built using Thymeleaf.
+It also utilizes Liquibase for schema evolution. The app has a built-in authentication using Spring Security. 
+
+The app has the following entities and their respective attributes:
+
+User
+- id
+- username
+- password
+
+BlogPost
+- id
+- title
+- content
+- author_id -> id of the user, that wrote the blog post
+- edited_at -> the last time, that the blog post was edited
+- views - the number of times, that the blog post has been read
+
+
+## Important
+
+If you have any questions or problems running the app please let us know as soon as possible.
