-# create-svelte
+# owlboard-svelte
 
-Everything you need to build a Svelte project, powered by [`create-svelte`](https://github.com/sveltejs/kit/tree/master/packages/create-svelte).
+owlboard-svelte is the OwlBoard web-frontend as of version 2023.7.1 replacing the previous version (https://git.fjla.uk/owlboard/web) and moving from a raw HTML/CSS/JS to a statically build Svelte website.
 
-## Creating a project
-
-If you're seeing this, you've probably already done this step. Congrats!
-
-```bash
-# create a new project in the current directory
-npm create svelte@latest
-
-# create a new project in my-app
-npm create svelte@latest my-app
-```
-
-## Developing
-
-Once you've created a project and installed dependencies with `npm install` (or `pnpm install` or `yarn`), start a development server:
-
-```bash
-npm run dev
-
-# or start the server and open the app in a new browser tab
-npm run dev -- --open
-```
+The decision was made because as new features were added, the markup and code started to become difficult to manage and maintain.  The Svelte version introduces reusable components simplifying the maintenance and the addition of new features.
 
 ## Building
 
-To create a production version of your app:
+To build owlboard-svelte, simply clone the repo and run `npm run build` which will build a static website in the `build` folder.  The static files can then be uplaoded to a webserver of your choice.
 
-```bash
-npm run build
-```
+The website is build statically for server performance reasons - running an nginx server is lighter than running Node considering that much of the data fetching and processing happens on the client side anyway due to user UUID access keys being required.
 
-You can preview the production build with `npm run preview`.
+## TypeScript
 
-> To deploy your app, you may need to install an [adapter](https://kit.svelte.dev/docs/adapters) for your target environment.
+Any new code added to the website should be written in TypeScript - where Javascript is extended, it should be re-written into TypeScript.
