Bad Arguments has been read by over two million visitors since its release in July 2013. This repository contains the code and documentation for the project, beginning in October 2015, which coincides with the first major update to the website since its release. This update cleans up the code and makes it mobile-friendly.
I'm grateful to anyone wishing to contribute to the project. If you wish to translate the book to a new language, you're welcome to contact me privately and send me the translated text and captions in a document. I can then take care of porting everything to the website. That is what we've been doing so far.
Alternatively, you may wish to download the code for an existing translation, modify it, and then send me your work along with the new captions as a Pull Request. You can find all existing languages in the repository as top-level directories, identified with their two-letter ISO 639-1 code (e.g. pt, es, he).
You are welcome to suggest corrections or submit suggestions by opening an issue or by submitting a Pull Request using the controls at the top of this page.
