Play

This app used to be hosted on Heroku back in 2017. Heroku has since discontinued their free tier option. As of now, there's no live demo available.

Quickstart

• Clone this repo

# Install dependencies for backend and frontend
dotnet restore
npm install

# Rebuild the project after modifications

Use live reload when working on frontend

# In a separate terminal, use this to start webpack-dev-server
# This provides JS assets on a separate port. The server in dev mode links `<script>`s to it
# Webpack will watch for changes and refresh the page after recompiling
npm start

npm run app-dev
