+# Developer Information
+
+## Profile Development
+
+BRouter offers [freely configurable routing
+profiles](../features/costfunctions.md). To extend existing profiles or develop
+you own profile see [Profile Developers Guide](profile_developers_guide.md) for
+a technical reference.
+
+### (Optional) Generate profile variants
+
+This repository holds examples of BRouter profiles for many different
+transportation modes. Most of these can be easily customized by setting
+variables in the first `global` context of the profiles files.
+
+An helper script is available in `misc/scripts/generate_profile_variants.sh`
+to help you quickly generate variants based on the default profiles, to create
+a default set of profiles covering most of the basic use cases.
+
+## Run the BRouter HTTP server
+
+Helpers scripts are provided in `misc/scripts/standalone` to quickly spawn a
+BRouter HTTP server for various platforms.
+
+* Linux/Mac OS: `./misc/scripts/standalone/server.sh`
+* Windows (using Bash): `./misc/scripts/standalone/server.sh`
+* Windows (using CMD): `misc\scripts\standalone\server.cmd`
+
+The API endpoints exposed by this HTTP server are documented in the
+[`brouter-server/src/main/java/btools/server/request/ServerHandler.java`](brouter-server/src/main/java/btools/server/request/ServerHandler.java)
+file.
+
+## Android Service
+
+BRouter exposes an [Android
+Service](https://developer.android.com/guide/components/services) which can be
+used by other applications to calculate routes. See
+[`brouter-routing-app/src/main/aidl/btools/routingapp/IBRouterService.aidl`](brouter-routing-app/src/main/aidl/btools/routingapp/IBRouterService.aidl)
+for the interface definition.
