+## Working on Website Backend
+
+This section covers how to setup the Supabase backend and configuring additional environment variables. This will enable development of AI assistant and generation scripts such as [generate-embeddings.ts](../../packages/paste-website/scripts/search/generate-embeddings.ts) 
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+You will need docker or a similar service in order to start the local supabase instance.
+
+### Environment
+
+To run the backend and develop all functionality of the website you will need to add additional variable in the `.env` file previously configured
+
+**Note**: access can be granted internally to OpenAI via the Service portal

+
+### Running Supabase
+
+Supabase is the data storage layer used by the application. We use it to store messages with the Paste AI Assistant and also storing embeddings used by our search functionality for pages and GitHub discussions.
+
+With Docker or a similar service running, you can start supabase by running `start:backend:dev`. This will output details of the envirnment such as auth tokens used to connect to the APIs and URLs of the frontent and services.
+
+You should be able to access the UI at http://localhost:54323.
+
+Migrations should be applied by default. If there are no tables on startup run the `db:reset` command in the `apps/backend` directory.

+- [Icons](#icons)

+  - [Generating Icons](#generating-icons)
+
+Our icons are converted from SVG to React components at compile time using our own “svg-to-react” library: [https://github.com/twilio-labs/svg-to-react](https://github.com/twilio-labs/svg-to-react)
+
+## Adding Icons
+
+The process for adding icons is very simple thanks to our naming conventions and conversion library.
+
+Any new SVG assets must be copied into the [svg](../../packages/paste-icons/svg/) folder. We often see the `viewBox` attribute missing so be sure the top level element has the following:
+
+```html
+<svg width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none">
+```
+
+## Generating Icons
+
+To generate newly added icons you can use the command `yarn convert:icons:new` from the root of the repo. This will create the new React components and appends the "Icon" string to the component name.
