+## Starting only the Dashboard
+
+In some scenarios, you may want to run only the dashboard without starting the Sidequest engine. This is useful for monitoring existing job queues, creating dedicated monitoring instances, or separating concerns in your architecture.
+
+### Installation
+
+First, install the dashboard package:
+
+```bash
+npm install @sidequest/dashboard
+# or
+yarn add @sidequest/dashboard
+```
+
+You'll also need to install the appropriate backend driver for your database:
+
+```bash
+# For PostgreSQL (recommended)
+npm install @sidequest/postgres-backend
+
+# For SQLite
+npm install @sidequest/sqlite-backend
+
+# For MySQL
+npm install @sidequest/mysql-backend
+
+# For MongoDB
+npm install @sidequest/mongo-backend
+```
+
+### Basic Usage
+
+Use the `SidequestDashboard` class to create a standalone dashboard instance:
+
+```typescript
+// or import form `sidequest` directly if you have the full library
+import { SidequestDashboard } from "@sidequest/dashboard";
+
+const dashboard = new SidequestDashboard();
+
+await dashboard.start({
+  enabled: true,
+  port: 8678,
+  backendConfig: {
+    driver: "@sidequest/postgres-backend",
+    config: "postgresql://localhost:5432/sidequest",
+  },
+});
+
+console.log("Dashboard available at http://localhost:8678");
+```
+
+### Shutting Down
+
+To properly close the dashboard and clean up resources:
+
+```typescript
+// Graceful shutdown
+await dashboard.close();
+console.log("Dashboard stopped and resources cleaned up");
+```
+

+## Development Mode
 
-# Start development mode
+If you want to develop Sidequest, you can run the development server for the entire application, including the documentation site:
+
+```bash
 yarn dev
 ```
+
+This will enable the dev server, which will watch for changes in the source code and automatically rebuild the affected packages. The documentation site will also be available at `http://localhost:5173`.
+
+## Testing
+
+To run the tests, first either build the application or run it in development mode. Then, you can execute the tests for all packages in a separate terminal:
+
+```bash
+# Starts all the test DBs in Docker containers
+yarn db:all
+
+# Run tests for all packages
+yarn test:all
+```
+
+If you'd rather not run backend tests, you can run the minified test suite without starting any DB containers:
+
+```bash
+# Run tests without backend implementations
+yarn test
+```
