+# Gutenberg as a Development Platform
+
+The Gutenberg Project is not only building a better editor for WordPress, but while doing creating a platform to build upon. This platform consists of a set of JavaScript packages and tools that you can use in your web application. [View the list packages available on npm](https://www.npmjs.com/org/wordpress).
+
+## UI Components
+
+The [WordPress Components package](/docs/components/) contains a set of UI components you can use in your project. See the [WordPress Storybook site](https://wordpress.github.io/gutenberg/) for an interactive guide to the available components and settings.
+
+Here is a quick example, how to use components in your project.
+
+Install the dependency:
+
+```bash
+npm install --save @wordpress/components
+```
+
+Usage in React:
+
+```jsx
+import { Button } from '@wordpress/components';
+
+function MyApp() {
+   return (
+      <Button>Hello Button</Button>
+   );
+}
+```
+
+## Development Scripts
+
+The wp-scripts package is a collection of reusable scripts for JavaScript development — includes scripts for building, linting, and testing — all with no additional configuration files.
+
+Here is a quick example, on how to use wp-scripts in your project.
+
+Install the depenency:
+
+```bash
+npm install --save-dev @wordpress/scripts
+```
+
+You can then add a scripts section to your package.json file, for example:
+
+```json
+	"scripts": {
+		"build": "wp-scripts build",
+		"format:js": "wp-scripts format-js",
+		"lint:js": "wp-scripts lint-js",
+		"start": "wp-scripts start"
+	}
+```
+
+You can then use `npm run build` to build your project with all the default webpack settings already configured, likewise for formating and linting. The `start` command is used for development mode. See [the scripts package](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@wordpress/scripts) for full documentation.
+
+You can also play with the [Gutenberg Example #03](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg-examples/tree/master/03-editable-esnext) for a complete setup using the wp-scripts package.
