+## Customization
+A hook is provided as `/server/scripts/custom.js` to allow customizations to your own fork of this project, without accidentally pushing your customizations back upstream to the git repository. An sample file is provided at `/server/scripts/custom.sample.js` and should be renamed to `custom.js` activate it.

 ## Issue reporting and feature requests
 
 Please do not report issues with api.weather.gov being down. It's a new service and not considered fully operational yet. Before reporting an issue or requesting a feature please consider that this is not intended to be a perfect recreation of the WeatherStar 4000, it's a best effort that fits within what's available from the API and within a web browser.
