Frontline Live Homepage
Install less
npm i -g less
Run compile step from within docs folder
lessc style.less style.css
Initially - commit style.css and push to deploy.
TODO - consider taking a step down to use plain old CSS for simplicity, maintainability, transferability.
The Frontline.sln and Frontline config and C# code aim to provide a live-reload dev
environment.
Similar setup on MacOSX/Linux without dotnet install - change directory into the docs folder
then run:
python -m http.server
to serve the static files on http://localhost:8000 and
watch lessc style.less style.css
to continually rebuild the stylesheets while developing.
