+## 🚀 Quick Start
+
+### Development
+```bash
+npm install ws express
+node server/signaling-server.js
+# Server runs on ws://localhost:8788
+```
+
+### Docker
+```bash
+docker-compose up -d signaling
+# Check status: docker-compose ps
+```
+
+### Integration
+```javascript
+import CollaborationClient from './app/js/collab-client.js';
+
+const collab = new CollaborationClient('ws://localhost:8788');
+
+collab.on('connected', () => console.log('Ready'));
+collab.on('userJoined', ({ name }) => console.log(`${name} joined`));
+
+collab.joinRoom('room-1', 'user-1', 'Alice');
