We want this site to be useful to all, especially beginners to the world of making bacon!

From a technical perspective, the high level site goals are:

• Be accessible to all users
• Mobile-friendly - display correctly on mobile and larger screens
• Works on light and dark mode

From a content perspective, the high level site goals are:

• Offer beginners a guide to the process, with strong resources and helpful information
• Offer resources to more advanced users, such as recipes and equipment and process guides
• Ensure that all users understand the pros and cons (and risks) involved

If you would like to build the site yourself, you should be able to do so quite easily.

Core technologies:

• Jekyll (static site generator)
• Ruby (minimal knowledge, the language Jekyll is built with)
• Tailwind CSS for styling
• NPM or Yarn to build the Tailwind stylesheet

Clone down this repo, make sure you have Ruby installed. To run the site locally, run:

bin/dev

Which will run Jekyll and the Tailwind server.
