+# Ionic Starters
+
+Ionic starters are simple apps to showcase a handful of features. In order to view these apps they must be ran from an HTTP Server, such as your localhost.
+Additionally, the root of your localhost must be ran from the root of this project (mainly because the starter app's external references are to this project's `dist` folder. 
+
+Simple way to view the examples with python:
+
+    python -m SimpleHTTPServer
+
+With the local server run navigate to:
+
+    http://localhost:8000/examples/starters/
