+## Important update 2021-12-10
+Due to prolonged inactivity on my end and multiple conflicting changes with the original repository, I applied app categories from scratch using the original repository's code. **This means there are some breaking changes, the biggest one being the database**. The database schemas of the old version and the new one are incompatible. You will need to delete/rename the previous database file so Flame can re-create it. You can then add your apps/bookmarks manually.
+
+If you encounter any problem, you can open an Issue in this fork so I can look into it.

 ## Description
 
 Flame is self-hosted startpage for your server. Its design is inspired (heavily) by [SUI](https://github.com/jeroenpardon/sui). Flame is very easy to setup and use. With built-in editors, it allows you to setup your very own application hub in no time - no file editing necessary.
