Sellsword Software Website

The repo for sellswordsoftware.com.

This site is a static vanilla JS SPA built to exercise Sellsword's own stack directly:

• vendor/naf is a git submodule for routing and UI composition
• vendor/nass is a git submodule for theme and primitive CSS
• esbuild bundles the site into plain static assets in dist/

Setup

Clone the repo with submodules:

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/SellswordSoftware/website.git
cd website
npm install

If you already cloned without submodules:

git submodule update --init --recursive

Local Development

Run the full local workflow:

npm run dev

That starts:

• the esbuild watcher
• the built-in static server

Default local URL:

http://127.0.0.1:43556

Override the host or port if needed:

DEV_HOST=0.0.0.0 DEV_PORT=8080 npm run dev

Other useful commands:

npm run build
npm run dev:build
npm run dev:serve
npm run preview

Submodule Workflow

The website intentionally references naf and nass as real git submodules so you can:

• use them directly in this repo
• edit them in place while building the site
• commit changes in the upstream library repos when needed
• update the pinned submodule commit in this repo explicitly

Common commands:

git submodule status
git -C vendor/naf status
git -C vendor/nass status
git -C vendor/naf checkout main
git -C vendor/nass checkout main
git submodule update --remote --merge

When you change a submodule and commit inside it, record the new pinned commit in the website repo:

git add vendor/naf vendor/nass
git commit -m "Update naf and nass submodule refs"

Build Output

Production assets are written to dist/.

The repo serves from the project root during development so index.html stays top-level and references ./dist/main.js and ./dist/main.css, which keeps local structure close to static hosting.
