This is a very simple tour finding app.
It's not super advanced but it's fun to use and has some nifty animations.

You need Node.js to build it.
The best way to install Node.js is to use a package manager. I recommend yarn.
Here are some instructions: https://classic.yarnpkg.com/en/docs/install/#mac-stable
Next, use it to install the packages:
yarn
After that, just run this script to build it in the dist directory:
yarn build
Want to run a local server with hot-reloading support? Just run this:
yarn serve
After that your console will display a local address where you can access the app.
Vue.js is one of the most popular javascript frameworks of the late 2010s.
It uses an easy-to-grasp reactive paradigm that allows programmers to build richer interfaces without worrying much about state.
I personally enjoy how single-file-components help me keep all related code in the same place.
It is a great choice for web projects of any size.
Poi is a convention-over-configuration Webpack wrapper that abstracts away most of its complexities.
It's great when you need Webpack's power but doesn't want to spend time configuring it.
It is similar to vue-cli or create-react-app, except it's framework agnostic and simpler to customize. It doesn't need code-generation or ejection, just install it with npm/yarn and you're done!
Just like Vue, it works for all kinds of projects, big and small.
Tailwind is an Atomic CSS framework.
That's my first time using it. I'm a big fan of other similar frameworks like Tachyons and BassCSS, so I decided to try another one!
Atomic CSS (also known as Functional CSS) is a CSS methodology that uses small, single-purpose helper classes whose names that are based on its visual function.
Those styles are then combined in the markup. It might seem messy and verbose, but I think it works fine when you're using reusable components.
The advantages are small CSS files and no visual bugs caused by styling changes.
The technique was presented in this article: https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2013/10/challenging-css-best-practices-atomic-approach/
The author of Tailwind has great arguments for it: https://adamwathan.me/css-utility-classes-and-separation-of-concerns/
Zeit Now is a serverless platform! It's great to publish static websites and Lambda functions.
I used it to publish it publically.
