A catalog of cursors and icons from Windows 98, in original and modern formats

There are 3 items in the catalog so far. Humble beginnings :)

The site is not currently hosted anywhere. You can run it locally with the instructions below, but it's surely not useful yet!

## Planned

* Tons and tons of resources

	* Automate extraction and conversion to various formats

* JSON metadata, which could be considered an API

	* Rich information like what DLL or EXE a file came from and the index within that source file, the operating system version it was retrieved from, copyright, etc.

* An interface for browsing icons and cursors on the web

	* Search (by name, description, and tags which can be progressively added)

	* Preview cursors as cursors

	* Download files or copy base64 data URI

* Host resources on the distributed web with Dat, IPFS, and/or WebTorrent

## Development Setup

* [Install Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/) if you don't have it already.

* [Install Git LFS](https://help.github.com/articles/installing-git-large-file-storage/) if you don't have it already.

* [Clone the repo.](https://help.github.com/articles/cloning-a-repository/)

* In a terminal / command prompt in the repo directory, run `npm i` to install dependencies.

The site is built with [Next.js](https://nextjs.org/), which gives us hot module replacement and client-side routing, altho I've had to put an unexpected amount of effort into making the development server match production.

Run `npm run dev` to start the development server, and open `http://localhost:3000` in your browser.

Run `npm run build` to build and export a static site to `out/` - this is what would be deployed to a static hosting provider.
