- Better Documentation
- URL update to current subject

The development environment requires only a current version of Node. If using the Nix package manager, the shell.nix file will install node 8.11.1 and npm 5.6.0 directly from the NodeJS website.
Get a complete build with npm run build. Get a development continuous rebuild with npm run dev. The build is available in a local browser at file:///path-to-repository/index.html.
This project uses Jasmine in a Node server to run tests and Flow for type checking.
Staging: The staging application is stored in the gh-pages branch. Go to Travis and select "More Options > Trigger Build". This will cause a build, merge, and commit of the final result in gh-pages and a deployment to staging within a few minutes.
