 ### Running the app locally
 
-1. This is a [Rocket](https://rocket.rs/) app, which means we use the `nightly`
-   channel of Rust. We use a specific nightly version to ensure consistent
-   builds locally and on the server, and the version is defined in the
-   `rust-toolchain` file. [`rustup`](https://rustup.rs) will automatically
-   download that nightly for you when you run a cargo command.
