Getting Started

Get node (from package-manager) and npm if not installed together.

You'll also need grunt to compile lesscss and run a watcher for livereload.

  > npm install
  > npm install -g grunt-cli 

  Then start with
  > bin/www
  or
  > npm start

  And to compile, just run
  > grunt

Structure

App.js loads everything. It refers to routes defined in the /routes folder. The routes serve content immediately or refer to the controllers for more logic.

Jade views are in /views. There is a layout.jade that each page renders and a directory for /includes. You can set title, description, keywords in the block head as you can see in /views/help/index.

For design, take a look at public/styles.html in a browser, but it's still in HTML and not jade for now. You'll get an idea of what you can do with each class.

Style

• Use 2 spaces.

Making Emails

1. Copy one of the files in /library/emails/default
