Setup

Open src/index.html

if you have a browser supporting ECMAScript 6 (Chrome 60+, Firefox 55+ or Safari 10+).

For older browsers, see Production below.

Production / Deployment

1. Run npm install in the project's root directory.
2. Run gulp in the project's root directory. This will transpile and minify the .js files to ECMAScript 5 and include Babel's polyfill.
3. Open dist/index.html with IE11+ or any modern browser.
4. (optional) Run ./publish.sh on the master branch to publish the site to the gh-pages branch. Might be worth to take a look at ./publish.sh before to see what it does.
