As usual, the best place to begin is:
npm install or yarn
Then to transpile and combine the JavaScript:
npm run build*
(This just runs the rollup commands for the app source code and the service worker script).
To run the app:
npm start*
Or you can use any static web server for the public directory - it's all just front-end.
To watch for changes (in a separate terminal):
npm run watch*
(This just uses watch to rebuild the JS when a change is detected in the src directory).
*NB. You should be able to replace npm with yarn here, but it's not working with yarn v0.15.1.
Sounds like it should work once this gets released.
Snapwat is called Snapwat because it's a snapshot with "pwa" in it - for Progressive Web App. Also, it's abbreviated to SW, like Service Workers. Good eh? It's pronounced "snap what?" to rhyme with snapshot. Any resemblance to other social apps is purely coincidental...
