Architecture Notes

WIP

This is a series of brief explanations about how this app works.

In general, this is an isomorphic (or universal) app, meaning that it renders on both the client and server, and most things (unless browser render specific) are available in any JS environment. For unit testing, jsdom is used to give React a DOM in NodeJS, so that client side behaviors can be probed.

The javascript is entirely optional, and acts as a feature and performance enhancer. Without it, the app simply acts as a simple, standard website, rendering html and css to the browser with each request going back to the server.
