1. Jekyll
2. npm
3. bower
4. Grunt

There is also a Vagrant box and Dockerfile available to make setup easier.

1. Clone the repo and cd into the directory.
2. npm install
3. bower install
4. grunt build

This will initialize the site files.

There is a grunt dev task that acts as a watcher for development purposes. It will trigger a rebuild of the site as files change.

By default, the site is available at https://localhost:4000.

To serve the site using Jekyll, use the grunt serve --host=<host> --port=<port> command. By default, it uses the following options:

host=0.0.0.0
port=4000

The site will be available at https://<host>:<port>.

Content is not tracked inside this repo. The site uses a custom post type called visualizations and is stored in Markdown format inside the _visualizations directory.

The visualization post type follows this format:

---
layout: visualization
title:
published:
source:
  name: 
  url: 
iframe_url: 
order: 
---

Here is an example of a visualization:

---
layout: visualization
title: My Visualization
published: true
source:
  name: The name of my Visualization source
  url: https://link.to.my.visualization.source.com
iframe_url: https://link.to.my.visualization.frame.com
order: 100
