+# Simple Server
+
+A simple Express.js server application that demonstrates basic REST API endpoints.
+
+## What is this repo?
+
+This repository contains a minimal Express.js server implementation designed for learning or testing purposes. It provides a basic HTTP server with GET and PATCH endpoints, running with automatic reload capabilities via nodemon.
+
+## Features
+
+- **GET endpoint**: Returns "Hello world!" at the root path (`/`)
+- **PATCH endpoint**: Handles PATCH requests at the root path (`/`)
+- **Auto-reload**: Uses nodemon for automatic server restart during development
+- **Request logging**: Logs timestamp, method, and path for each request
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Node.js (v12 or higher recommended)
+- npm or yarn package manager
+
+## Installation
+
+Install the project dependencies:
+
+```bash
+npm install
+```
+
+or if you use yarn:
+
+```bash
+yarn install
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+Start the development server:
+
+```bash
+npm start
+```
+
+The server will start on **port 7000** and will automatically restart when you make changes to the code.
+
+## API Endpoints
+
+### GET /
+
+Returns a simple "Hello world!" message.
+
+**Example:**
+```bash
+curl http://localhost:7000/
+```

+```
+Hello world!
+```
+
+### PATCH /
+
+Handles PATCH requests.
+
+**Example:**
+```bash
+curl -X PATCH http://localhost:7000/
+```
