About the Repository

This repository hosts the source code used to generate the static website for F/OSS Comics.

The static webpage generator was adapted from kartiknair's blog and is styled using the Archie theme. I've customized the generator to better suit the needs of the F/OSS Comics series.

How to Build and View the Comics

To build the static website for the comics, run:

npm run build

After building the site, you can start a local web server to view the comics:

npm start

Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:3000 to read the comics.
