## Built With

This website was built primarily with the following technologies:

- [Astro](https://astro.build)
- Node.js
- Tailwind CSS
- Visual Studio Code (with the following plugins in addition to the recommended Astro plugins and other plugins that I use regularly)
  - Prettier
  - ESLint
- Howler.js (for the backend of the audio player)

## Features

**🎵 A persistent audio player that works across all pages**

**📄 Finally (for me!) a multi-page layout that's easy to add more content to**

**📱Fully responsive**

**🕶️ Built with dark mode and other accessibility features in mind**

## Installation and Setup

1. Install prerequisites (Node.js)
2. Run `npm install`
3. From the root of the project directory, run `npm run dev` to start the development server which automatically refreshes on content changes

## Building and Deploying

To build, as with most Astro projects, simply run `npm run build`, which currently outputs the built website to the `dist` folder.
Eventually, this website will automatically deploy via my custom-built deployment system and self-hosted server environment (todo!).
