How it works

The events.json contains a JSON object containing all events pages. All the pages themselves are stored in events folder. Each page is a json file with all the details about that years talks. The JSON is used to fill a mustache template since all the pages are the same format and layout and output to dist. The page called Home in the events.json will be set as the main page.

The main.js file is responsible for displaying the countdown and loading the video feed. Also, it changes colour of the header and individual days, depending on the amount of times you have visited the page. It also handles the #Day so a specific day can be linked to. Gulp concats this with materilize and minifies it to dist/js
