+### How to statically host Fermi
+Fermi due to its service worker, will technically work without any of this, but here's what you need to keep in mind for statically hosting it.
+### I will assume the following
+* 404.html will be used for 404 responses
+* index.html will be used when in that directory
+* stuff like `/app` will just use the html file at `/app.html`
+
+Here's the other thing you need to do:
+You need to make some rewrites, not redirects from these addresses:
+* `/channels/*` -> `/app.html`
+* `/invite/*` -> `invite.html`
+* `/template/*` -> `template.html`
+Other than these three rewrites, everything else should work as expected!
+(the reason why the service worker can fix this is due to it doing the rewrites on the client side)
