 ## Background

+[Leaflet](https://leafletjs.com/) for map interaction,
+[Bootstrap](https://getbootstrap.com/) for layout styling.

-page application (SPA) written in a framework though it could

+## Testing
 
-* Start a webserver on port 8000 to preview changes
+The `test/` setup uses [Mocha](https://mochajs.org/) to run tests. Tests use [Puppeteer](https://pptr.dev/) to control a Google Chrome headless browser and evaluate with [Assert](https://nodejs.org/api/assert.html).
