Daemon Landing Page

This website is built using the following technologies:

1. SolidStart
2. TailwindCSS

Setting up your Development Environment

Prerequisites

1. bun - This is a Rust-based NPM substitute. No bun? visit bun's website and follow their installation guide.

Installation

Open your terminal in the landing-page directory and run the following to install all the dependencies of the front end at once:

bun install

The installation process may take a couple of minutes if you have really bad wifi. Otherwise give it a couple of seconds.

Development Workflow

To start the local server run:

bun dev

This command:

1. Starts your local development environment
2. Enables hot reloading, which automatically refreshes the browser when you save changes

Note: It might be a good idea to keep the terminal window open while working, as it displays important error messages and build information.

Creating a Production Build

When preparing the project for deployment run the following command:

bun run build

This creates a production build in a dist directory. It does the following:

• Minifies and optimizes all code
• Bundles assets efficiently
• Removes development-only features
• Adds hash values to filenames for cache management

Deployment

The dist folder contains all the front end files that are necessary to deploy the front end to whatever hosting service we choose like:

• Netlify
• Vercel
• Cloudflare Pages
• Other static hosting services

Common Issues and Solutions

If you encounter problems, here are some common solutions:

1. Command not executing:

   • Verify you're in the correct directory
   • Run bun install again
   • Confirm bun is installed with bun --version

2. Changes not reflecting:

   • Ensure the development server is running
   • Check the terminal for error messages
   • Try refreshing the browser

3. Build failures:

   • Save all pending changes
   • Review terminal output for specific errors
   • Run bun install to update dependencies
