Hi Avik, I've updated the README to explain web app development as I understand it (which may be flawed). It is aimed at data scientists who have never built a web app before. It falls short of explicitly explaining the stack APIs but should enable readers to follow what's happening anyway, as well as adapt the example to their own needs. Another shortcoming is that I haven't explained how to modify the html templates.
