+Bitmask Javascript UI
+=================================================================
+
+Here lies the user interface for Bitmask, written in Javascript.
+
+quick start:
+
+    npm install       # installs development dependencies in "node_modules"
+    npm run watch     # continually rebuilds source .js into "public"
+    bitmaskd          # launch backend
+    npm run open      # opens http://localhost:7070/ in a browser
+
+build for deployment:
+
+    npm install
+    npm run build:production
+
+After 'build', 'build:production', or 'watch' is run, everything needed for
+Bitmask JS is contained in the 'public' directory. No additional files are
+needed. Open the public/index.html file in a browser or web widget. Because of
+the single origin policy of browsers, you will need to open public/index.html
+through the webserver included with bitmaskd (e.g. http://localhost:7070)
+
+Development Dependencies
+-----------------------------------------------------------------
+
+This application has no "runtime" dependencies: all the javascript needed is
+bundled and included. However, there are many development dependencies.
+Run `npm ls` for a full list.
+
+**npm**
+
+Package management, controlled by the package.json file.
+
+**webpack**
+
+Asset bundling and transformation. It takes all your javascript and CSS and
+bundles it into one (or more) files, handling support for 'require' and scope
+separation.
+
+loaders & plugins:
+
+* babel-loader: use Babel with Webpack.
+
+* style-loader/css-loader: standard css loader.
+
+* less-loader: allows use the less stylesheet.
+
+* copy-webpack-plugin: allows us to specify what files to copy using Webpack.
+
+* extract-text-webpack-plugin: allows you to split js and css into separate
+  files.
+
+**babel**
+
+Babel is used to compile javascript into javascript, transforming along the
+way. We have enabled these plugins:
+
+* babel-presets-react: Adds support for React features, such as JSX (html
+  inlined in js files).
+
+* babel-presets-es2015: Allows the use of modern ES6 javascript.
+
+* babel-presets-stage-0: Allows the use of some ES7 proposals, even though
+  these are not standardized yet. Makes classes nicer.
+
+**react**
+
+React is an efficient way to generate HTML views with Javascript. It allows you
+to create interactive UIs without ever modifying the DOM by using "one way"
+data binding. This greatly simplifies the code and reduces errors.
+
+**bootstrap**
+
+The world's most popular CSS styles for UI elements. The npm package includes
+both pre-compiled css and less stylesheets. Even though Semantic UI is better,
+Bootstrap components for React are much more stable, I have found, and also are
+easy to theme.
+
+To integrate Bootstrap with React:
+
+* react-bootstrap: React components that use Bootstrap styles. These component
+  include all the needed javascript and don't require JQuery, although they do
+  require that the bootstrap CSS is loaded independently.
+
+**zxcvbn**
+
+A password strength checker that doesn't suck, but which is big. This JS is
+only loaded when we think we are about to need it.
