+## lectures.schallbert.de
+This is the place where I put the source code of my open-source lectures.
+
+### Lectures website
+The website displaying this content can be reached under [https://lectures.schallbert.de](https://lectures.schallbert.de).
+
+### Mechanics behind
+I use the `react.js` framework so my lectures can be displayed neatly in any browser. From this repository, the sources are checked out by an automation from Gitea called *act_runner* that listens to repository push. It then deploys the `html` output to my webserver solution *caddy* so the content can be displayed on any client's browser.
