Local preview

This repository is a static site, so it can be previewed with Python's built-in HTTP server before pushing changes to GitHub.

./host-locally.sh

Then open http://127.0.0.1:8179/ and capture screenshots at the target browser resolutions before deploying.

For a quick mobile homepage screenshot, run:

./screenshot-homepage.sh

The screenshot is written to screenshots/homepage-mobile.png. The screenshots/ directory is ignored by Git so local captures can stay inside the repo without being committed.

Platform notes:

• macOS/Linux: run ./host-locally.sh. If the checkout lost executable permissions, run sh ./host-locally.sh.
• Windows: run ./host-locally.sh from Git Bash or WSL. From PowerShell with the default Git for Windows install, run & "C:\Program Files\Git\bin\bash.exe" ./host-locally.sh; if bash is on PATH, bash ./host-locally.sh also works.
• Use another port with ./host-locally.sh 8180 or PORT=8180 ./host-locally.sh if 8179 is already in use.

The script requires Python 3 and automatically tries python3, python, then the Windows Python launcher py -3.

The screenshot script requires Node.js/npm. It uses npx playwright screenshot and prefers an installed Chrome or Edge browser when one is available. You can override the defaults with environment variables, for example:

VIEWPORT=1280,720 OUTPUT=screenshots/homepage-desktop.png ./screenshot-homepage.sh
