 ### Start development app
 
-We use [misty](https://github.com/adlk/misty) (see [misty.yml](https://github.com/getferdi/ferdi/blob/develop/misty.yml)) and [debug](https://github.com/visionmedia/debug):
+Run these two commands **simultaneously** in different terminals:
+
+```bash
+$ npm run dev
+$ DEBUG=Ferdi:* npm run start
+```
+
+Optionally, you can run both commands in one terminal with [misty](https://github.com/adlk/misty) (see [misty.yml](https://github.com/getferdi/ferdi/blob/develop/misty.yml)):
 
 ```bash
 $ DEBUG=Ferdi:* npx misty
 ```
 
-Be aware that the development database will be reset regularly.
+Note: please prefer [`debug()`](https://github.com/visionmedia/debug) over `console.log()`.
