+# Set up an example subscribe-broadcast web page
 
-## Getting Started
+This repo provides an example subscribe-broadcast web page that demonstrates an implementation of a Subscribe button with [built-in user consent](https://docs.xmtp.org/consent/subscribe) provided by XMTP.
 
-First, run the development server:
+Follow these steps to set up an example subscribe-broadcast page like the one [deployed here](https://subscribe-broadcast.vercel.app/subscribe/button) and connected to the XMTP `dev` network.
+
+To get the most out of this repo, use it with the [broadcast-example-api repo](https://github.com/xmtp/broadcast-example-api). The broadcast-example-api repo provides an example broadcast API that you can use with the example subscribe-broadcast page to send broadcast messages and provide broadcast statuses. To learn how, see [Try the subscribe with built-in consent and broadcast flow](https://docs.xmtp.org/consent/subscribe-broadcast).

+## Get a WalletConnect project ID
+
+If you don’t already have one, generate a WalletConnect AppKit project ID by visiting WalletConnect's project dashboard at `https://cloud.walletconnect.com/`.
+
+You’ll need the project ID in the next step.
+
+## Create .env file
+
+At the root of the `subscribe-broadcast` directory, create a `.env` file with the following contents. Replace `<your WalletConnect project ID>` with your WalletConnect project ID from the previous step.
+
+`NEXT_PUBLIC_API_HOST=http://localhost:6989` is a value based on the **broadcast-example-api** repo.
