 # The (highly) unofficial Yakshed Presseclub
+
+This is a small website wrapper around [SingleFile](https://github.com/gildas-lormeau/SingleFile) inspired by [@screenbreak/SingleFile-dockerized](https://github.com/screenbreak/SingleFile-dockerized) which exposes a HTTP endpoint that acts as a "transparent proxy".
+
+The idea behind presseclub is to share paywalled articles with your friends.
+
+## What presseclub does
+
+- Presseclub is launched with a cookie store of the sites you or your friends have access to
+- Every route behind `/lies/*` is downloaded through SingleFile with a headless Chromium and the supplied cookies
+- Presseclub saves the file locally and makes the cache available at the very same URL
+
+### Legal disclaimer
+
+We have no idea if this is legal. (It's probably not).
+It's fun though and you should set it up for your friends.
+
+### Technical disclaimer
+
+*DO NOT* export your complete cookie store for presseclub. The best way to retrieve the cookies you need for a specific paywalled site is to:
+
+- Start Chromium with an empty / new Profile
+- Browse to the site you want to add
+- Use the [Get cookies.txt](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/get-cookiestxt/bgaddhkoddajcdgocldbbfleckgcbcid?hl=en) extension to retrieve the Cookie Store
+
+
+⚠️ Presseclub may be able make requests upon your behalf, so make sure to only share it with people you trust.
