-Shushtar is a browser-based interface for managing the off-chain liquidity of your `lnd` Lightning Network node. It presents a visual representation of your channels and balances, while allowing you to perform submarine swaps via the [Lightning Loop](https://lightning.engineering/loop) service using a graphical interface. With a bird's eye view of all of your open channels, you can instantly see which ones need your immediate attention.
+Shushtar is a browser-based interface for managing the off-chain liquidity of your `lnd`
+Lightning Network node. It presents a visual representation of your channels and balances,

 You can configure the UI to classify channels according to your node's operating mode.
 
-- **Optimize for Receiving**: For merchants who primarily receive inbound Lightning payments, the channels with high local balances will be shaded red.
-- **Optimize for Routing**: For routing node operators, that want to keep their channels balanced close to 50%, the channels with a high balance in either direction will be flagged.
-- **Optimize for Sending**: For exchanges, fiat gateways, and other operators who primarily send outgoing Lightning payments, the channels with high local balances will be shaded red.

 ## Architecture
 
-Shushtar is packaged as a single binary which contains the [`lnd`](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd), [`loopd`](https://github.com/lightninglabs/loop) and [`faraday`](https://github.com/lightninglabs/faraday) daemons all in one. It also contains an HTTP server to serve the web assets (html/js/css) and a GRPC proxy to forward web requests from the browser to the appropriate GRPC server. This deployment strategy was chosen as it greatly simplifies the operational overhead of installation, configuration and maintenance that would be necessary to run each of these servers independently. You only need to download one executable and run one command to get Shushtar up and running. We include the CLI binaries `lncli`, `loop` and `frcli` for convenience in the downloadable archives as well.

-- **NodeJS**: Shushtar's frontend is written in TypeScript and built on top of the React JS web framework. To bundle the assets into Javascript & CSS compatible with web browsers, NodeJS is required. It can be downloaded and installed by following the instructions on the [NodeJS download](https://nodejs.org/en/download/) page.

 #### Required
 
-You must set `httpslisten` to the host & port that the https server should listen on. Also set `uipassword` to a strong password to use to login to the website in your browser. A minimum of 8 characters is required. In a production environment, it's recommended that you store this password as an environment variable.

 #### Optional
 
-You can also configure the HTTP server to automatically install a free SSL certificate provided by [LetsEncrypt](https://letsencrypt.org/). This is recommended if you plan to access the website from a remote computer and do not want to deal with the browser warning you about the self-signed certificate. You just need to specify the domain name you wish to use, and make sure port 80 is open in your in your firewall. LetsEncrypt requires this to verify that you own the domain name. Shushtar will listen on port 80 to handle the verification requests. On some linux-based platforms, you may need to run Shushtar with superuser privileges since port 80 is a system port.

 ### Troubleshooting
 
-If you have trouble running your node, please first check the logs for warnings or errors. If there are errors relating to one of the embedded servers, then you should open an issue in their respective GitHub repos ([lnd](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/issues), [loop](https://github.com/lightninglabs/loop/issues), [faraday](https://github.com/lightninglabs/faraday/issues). If the issue is related to the web app, then you should open an [issue](https://github.com/lightninglabs/shushtar/issues) here in this repo.

 #### Server
 
-Server-side logs are stored in the directory specified by `lnd.lnddir` in your configuration. Inside, there is a `logs` dir containing the log files in subdirectories. Be sure to set `lnd.debuglevel=debug` in your configuration to see the most verbose logging information.

 #### Browser
 
-Client-side logs are disabled by default in production builds. Logging can be turned on by adding a couple keys to your browser's `localStorage`. Simply run these two JS statements in you browser's DevTools console then refresh the page:
