_A talk for [Founders & Coders], 2017-01-10_

## Usage

```
npm install
npm watch
```

Will open a browser pointing to http://localhost:3000 and show the slideshow.

The slide show is all HTML, CSS, and just enough JS to make it move.
The code is for edutainment purposes only. Feel free to fork it better.

```
npm test
```
Will show what it looks like to fail a [`stylelint`][stylelint] exam.
