+WIP
+
+# Building from source
+
+You will need:
+* Python 3.12
+* Java 17 JDK
+* Android Studio/Android dev tools (Specifically, `zipalign`)
+* Some understand of android development
+
+You can invoke the python script directly using `python build.py ...` or using the bash script: `./build.sh ...`.
+Use whichever you prefer.
+
+1. Copy `zipalign` or `zipalign.exe` from your android build tools (ver. 35) into `tools`
+2. If you want a release build, generate a keystore and name it `release.keystore` in `keystores` using `keytool`
+3. Get a copy of the tumblr apk version <TODO> and place it inside `source-apk` (Naming doesn't matter)
+4. Run the build script using `python build.py build r`
+5. Copy the output apk (in `build/apk/tumblr-ykit.apk`) wherever you need it.
+
+Build commands and flags:
+
+`./build.sh extract` - Extracts the apk's contents into `build/extracted`
+`./build.sh clean` - Cleans up the workspace by deleting the `build` directory
+`./build.sh assemble` - Assembles the ykit apk without signing or aligning it
+`./build.sh build [flags]` - Buildss the apk and aligns and signs it using the specified key.
+
+Build flags:
+`a` - Deploy to android studio in `~/ApkProjects/tumblr-ykit`. To generate one, open AS, and load the apk. From then on you will not need to repeat this step unless you want to analyze the code (TODO: This explanation is garbage.)
+`r` - Sign using release keystore `keystores/release.keystore` (You will have to create it yourself)
+`r` - Sign using the debug keystore `keystores/debug.keystore` (It will be created automatically)
