[x] fold in "website root" code, so it works locally, on Netlify, and on GitHub Pages
[ ] merge pytest code
[ ] finish Dolce to v1 (footer and whatever), PK
[ ] finish and document "Edit on $git_repo" button
[x] move mainline dev work to nxc (which will have its name changed someday)
[ ] manual testing:
- [ ] with another forge or two, in case there's something unexpectedly different in how they handle this.
- [ ] What happens when you have a github account, but are not a contributor. May be able to make a pull-request. Might require too many details to explain that in a tooltip.
[ ] clean up mwb repo issues list, port any keepers to the new repo
[ ] code review everything
[ ] find a name
[ ] make landing page for module nice enough

Getting Started with NXC

(as it works currently; workflow and docs will be tweaked to improve)

make a new empty directory and change to it
make a venv: python3 -m venv venv
activate venv: source venv/bin/activate
(to deactivate later: deactivate)
download requirements.txt from https://github.com/band/nxcTestVault/blob/main/.massivewikibuilder/requirements.txt
pip install -r requirements.txt
nxc init and answer questions
touch README.md
nxc build -i . -o ../output
will get built into output dir; cd there and run a local webserver with e.g. python3 -m http.server
