+# a really really simple web client
+
+This is a web Client with almost NO features but a small starting point for
+people who want to try for themselves.
+It utilizes a simple XmlHttpRequest and prints the output to screen.
+
+I also implemented the use of marked for highlighting the chat.
+
+Since there is no on-the-fly-reception, getting an answer may take a while...
+
+# usage
+
+## using it locally
+
+if you just want to try, run firefox in your command line like this:
+
+```
+$ firefox file:///path/to/ollama/examples/simple-webclient/webcli.html?host=your_hostname
+```
+
+This opens your browser (eg firefox) and in this case, directly sets ollama host to
+_http://your_hostname:11434_.
+Default host is either the host where the script runs or just `localhost`.
+
+For more configuration, see `Configuring`
+
+## using behind nginx
+
+The most comfortable way I found was using the cli on nginx.
+
+! This is only an example. You should use a dedicated site in nginx !
+
+Therefore, I just copied webcli.html to /var/www/html/.
+
+To make it run, you might need to edit the location in `/etc/nginx/sites-available/default`
+and add
+
+```
+...
+ location / {
+ ...
+ add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' '*';
+ ...
+ }
+...
+```
+
+After that, you need to reload nginx.
+
+Now, you should be able to access webcli via `http://your_host/webcli.html`
+
+
+## Configuring
+
+If you want to configure a bit more, just click the "Configure" link below your chat input.
+A form opens and you can input hostname, port, whether using https, as well as the used
+model, parameters and system input.
+
+# Todo
+
+Well, there's still something to do here. Source code formatting would be cool or maybe
+saving the configuration somehow.. Feel free..
