Setup

Install Dependencies

npm install

Modes

• GitHub Pages (static, read-only): The site fetches data from data/*.json. Adding/editing via the UI will be ignored because static hosting cannot write files. Update data by editing the JSON files and git push.
• Local dev (read/write): Run the dev server to read/write JSON files in data/.

Local Dev (read/write)

npm install
npm start

Open http://localhost:3000. Adds/edits/deletes persist to data/*.json via the dev API. Commit and push the updated data/ folder to publish changes.

Static (GitHub Pages) behavior

• Data loads from data/*.json in the repo.
• Save/Delete is a no-op on GitHub Pages (read-only). To change data on the live site, edit data/*.json locally (or through the dev server), then git push.

Data Files

• data/movies.json - Movie entries
• data/journal.json - Journal entries
• data/rules.json - Rules
• data/misc.json - Notes

API (dev server)

• GET /api/:collection - Retrieve data for a collection
• POST /api/:collection - Save data for a collection

Static assets are served from the project root.
