Hacking

Clone, build and run dev server:

npm start

Why is node_modules/ committed to the repository?

1. It's convenient to be able to build the project no matter what happens with npm or third-party libraries. See also: Hermetic build.
2. Neither Yarn, nor package-lock.json existed at the time this project was created.
