+## SECRET_KEY
+
+This app wants an environment variable `SECRET_KEY`, which should be a secure,
+randomly-generated string. Otherwise, we generate one on the fly, which only
+works long as the app is running, and won't work in a distributed environment.
+SECRET_KEY is used to sign cookies, so setting a new key effectively
+invalidates all existing sessions.
