# CLAUDE.md

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

## Project Overview

HabermasCSS is an educational static website project designed to teach HTML/CSS fundamentals through an exercise about Habermas and the Public Sphere. Students edit the files directly to learn web development concepts.

## Development Workflow

This is a static HTML/CSS/JavaScript project with no build system. To develop:

```sh
# Simply open index.html in a browser
open index.html # macOS
xdg-open index.html # Linux
start index.html # Windows
```

Or use a local development server:
```sh
python -m http.server 8000 # Python 3
# Then visit http://localhost:8000
```

No compilation, bundling, or transpilation is required.

## Architecture

### File Structure
- `index.html` - Main HTML page with semantic structure (header, main/sections, footer)
- `style.css` - Styling with modern CSS (flexbox, grid, transitions)
- `script.js` - DOM manipulation and interactive behavior
- `index.md` - Markdown version demonstrating GFM limitations

### Key Design Patterns

**Layout**: The page uses a combination of flexbox (body) and CSS Grid (main content area) for responsive two-column layout:
- Body uses `flex-direction: column` for vertical stacking
- Main uses `grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fit, minmax(250px, 1fr))` for responsive columns

**JavaScript Timing**: The setup function runs with a 3-second delay via `window.onload = setTimeout(setup, 3000)` (index.html:20). This creates a dramatic reveal effect for the #hello element.

**CSS Transitions**: The project demonstrates CSS transitions in two ways:
- Hover effect on #badnews that rotates and expands the text
- Button click toggles the .do-transition class for animated transformation

**DOM Manipulation Flow**:
1. Page loads with #hello element hidden (opacity: 0%)
2. After 3 seconds, setup() adds .bugout class to reveal the element
3. Button click toggles between "Click Me" and "Make it Stop!" with .do-transition animation

### Educational Context

This is a teaching repository. The code intentionally uses various HTML tags and CSS techniques as examples for students. When making changes:
- Maintain the educational value and variety of HTML/CSS techniques
- Keep the focus on CSS fundamentals (transitions, layouts, selectors)
- Preserve the quirky interactive elements (they're teaching examples)
