+### Nitrous.IO
+
+Starter App supports online development on [Nitrous.IO](http://www.nitrous.io).
+
+You need:
+* A Nitrous.IO box with **at least** 512MB of memory.
+* Two "Dev Plan" heroku databases (one for development and one for test)
+* The following environment variables on your Nitrous.IO box's `.bashrc`:
+  ```bash
+  export STARTER_APP_DEV_DB_DATABASE=YOUR_DEV_DB_DATABASE
+  export STARTER_APP_DEV_DB_USER=YOUR_DEV_DB_USER
+  export STARTER_APP_DEV_DB_PASSWORD=YOUR_DEV_DB_PASSWORD
+  export STARTER_APP_DEV_DB_HOST=YOUR_DEV_DB_HOST
+  export STARTER_APP_DEV_DB_PORT=YOUR_DEV_DB_PORT
+
+  export STARTER_APP_TEST_DB_DATABASE=YOUR_TEST_DB_DATABASE
+  export STARTER_APP_TEST_DB_USER=YOUR_TEST_DB_USER
+  export STARTER_APP_TEST_DB_PASSWORD=YOUR_TEST_DB_PASSWORD
+  export STARTER_APP_TEST_DB_HOST=YOUR_TEST_DB_HOST
+  export STARTER_APP_TEST_DB_PORT=YOUR_TEST_DB_PORT
+  ```
+
+A guide for creating heroku databases and edit `.bashrc` on Nitrous.IO is available here: http://help.nitrous.io/postgres/
