+# Simple Doc for Flask App [Version 1]
+
+A lightweight Flask application that runs entirely in-memory, no database required! This app provides basic book management functionality with RESTful API routes.
+
+## Features:
+- Add, update, delete, and fetch books.
+- Runs in-memory (no database required).
+- Dockerized for easy deployment.
+
+## Getting Started:
+
+### Prerequisites:
+- [Python 3.8+](https://www.python.org/downloads/)
+- [Docker](https://www.docker.com/)
+
+### Run Locally:
+
+1. **Clone the repository**
+   ```bash
+   git clone https://github.com/Yohannes90/flask-crud-challenge.git
+   cd flask-crud-challenge
+   ```
+
+2. **Install dependencies**
+   ```bash
+   pip install -r requirements.txt
+   ```
+
+3. **Run the app**
+   ```bash
+   python -m flask --app app run
+   ```
+
+4. **Access the API**
+   - Open your browser or Postman and visit: `http://127.0.0.1:5000/books`
+
+### Run with Docker:
+
+1. **Build the Docker image**
+   ```bash
+   docker build -t flask-app .
+   ```
+
+2. **Run the Docker container**
+   ```bash
+   docker run -p 5000:5000 flask-app
+   ```
+
+3. **Access the API**
+   - Open your browser or Postman and visit: `http://localhost:5000/books`
+
+---
+
+## API Endpoints:
+- **GET** `/books` - Retrieve all books.
+- **GET** `/books/:id` - Retrieve a specific book by ID.
+- **POST** `/books` - Add a new book.
+- **PUT** `/books/:id` - Update an existing book by ID.
+- **DELETE** `/books/:id` - Delete a book by ID.
