2. npm start Start the development environment (localhost:9000) This will start the node server and the webpack watch loop for styles/js. Currently there is no JS for the app.
3. Get a sample of data to put into the /data/ directory. See either Eddie or Connor for this.

Things this thing is built with:

• Node/Express - Server
• Pug - Templating
• Webpack SASS (Because #hackday)

Recirc at bottom of articles

Right now, at the bottom of articles, there is just recirc that shows TODO messages. Let's make this actually work as expected.

Some articles don't work (because multiple sections in URL?)

This one didn't seem to work. Maybe a new rewrite rule here?
