 # Amtrak Status Boards
 
-Amtrak Status Boards is a desktop application for accessing Dixieland Software's [station status boards](https://dixielandsoftware.net/Amtrak/solari/).
+Amtrak Status Boards, or AMTK Status, is a desktop front-end for accessing Dixieland Software's [station status boards](https://dixielandsoftware.net/Amtrak/solari/). 
+
+## Background
+
+This was intended to solve a rather awkward dilemma. While I much prefer PWAs, I used to have a bunch of standalone web apps for stations that I view on Virtual Railfan. This front-end was intended to solve that dilemma by accessing all stations from a single application using a modern, cleaner interface.
