+## Developing
+
+Right now, the developer experience is not optimal due to 0.11 not really supporting what we're doing at all.
+
+If you want to test your changes, you gotta to the following:
+
+**Step 1:** Create a deployment for local usage:
+
+```sh-session
+[user@host] microzig-monorepo/ $ python3 ./tools/bundle.py --debug
+preparing environment...
+validating packages...
+loaded packages:
+  * microzig-build
+  * examples:microchip/avr
+  * examples:...
+  * microzig-core
+  * microchip/avr
+  * ...
+resolving inner dependencies...
+creating packages...
+bundling microzig-build...
+bundling microzig-core...
+bundling microchip/avr...
+...
+[user@host] microzig-monorepo/ $ 
+```
+
+This command yields output in `./microzig-deploy` that is meant to be fetched via `http://localhost:8080/`.
+
+**Step 2:** To serve the files on this port, you can start a pre-bundled web server:
+
+```sh-session
+[user@host] microzig-monorepo/ $ python3 ./tools/demo-server.py
+...
+```
+
+This way, you spawn a local HTTP server that will serve `./microzig-deploy` on port 8080 on your machine, and you can then
+start fetching packages from this.
+
+Now you can use curl to fetch the packages, or you can just create a local development project.
+
+**Step 3:** You can use the tool `tools/patch-build-zon.py` to patch/upgrade your development project inplace:
+
+```sh-session
+[user@host] microzig-monorepo/ $ python3 ./tools/patch-build-zon.py /tmp/dev-project
+Updating hash of http://localhost:8080/packages/microzig-build.tar.gz to 12200040a36bbbb2fe09809861f565fcda9a10ec3064d70357aa40ad0a61596c16fb
