Installing is pretty simple, all you need to do is download the ZIP and open it inside your preferred terminal, make sure you have Node.js and Yarn, then run yarn, yarn build, and yarn start in that order. We'll have more information when we release our first MVP.
JSBoard wasn't always this clean and polished. Its first version looked a little something like this:
We also had this as well:
Yea, those were some dark days...
Next up, we have the "jsboard-frontend" written in plain html with ejs (which is not a framework, by the way, it's sort of like a budget components implementation. I'm sad to say I (quick007) was impressed when I first saw this...). It also has express and tailwind, which I used their components page and some "css action" to create this absolute masterpiece:
Today of course we have the look of today's JSBoard. Honestly, there's a lot of new design stuff I'd (quick007) love to throw at it someday, but for now, you're going to have to like the playful stacked boxes theme I've created.
