This is the repo for the site. It's running on Django 1.9.5 and uses Node.js build tools to operate the front-end build chain.

Development

You'll need:

• Python, pip, and preferably virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper
• Node version 4.4.3. I recommend using Node Version Manager to manage your Node versions.

Getting set up

1. Clone down the repository and navigate to the folder
2. npm install
3. pip install -r requirements.txt
4. python manage.py runserver
5. You should now have a server up and running!

If you're having issues, yell at @wayspurrchen or file an issue.

Developing Front-end Assets

All front-end assets are served out of the static folder. The static/src folder contains all of the source code. The static/build folder contains the source code as it is temporarily built during development and deployment. Since Django has its own static asset collection system, we also have a third static/serve folder from where Django serves static assets in production. If you're developing, you can pretty much ignore this folder.

The front-end build chain uses Sass and Grunt for development. To use grunt, install it with NPM (Node Package Manager):

npm install -g grunt-cli

You should now have grunt available at your command line. Run:

grunt watch

Grunt should now automatically compile any changes you make to the SCSS files.
