NBN's roundup of 2017

2017-year-in-media

Some notes on the build:

1. we opted for yarn instead of npm
2. we used googledoc-to-json to convert our Google doc full of content to JSON. You'll need to create a config.json file to use it. Read the package's documentation to get all set up.
3. we generated our content using a weird combo of handlebars and node. We used our Handlebars templates as strings in our JS files because we couldn't get the .hbs templates to load/compile properly otherwise. In the future, we'll want to use Handlebars helpers to accomplish this. See the package.json for commands to build the output directory

Things to work on:

1. Only generate stuff that doesn't exist/needs to be updated. Don't generate the whole thing
2. Proper Webpack integration
