To work with the stylesheet for templates, you need [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/download/), then run `yarn install` in `web/source/`. Recompiling the bundle.css is `node build.js` but can be automated with [nodemon](https://www.npmjs.com/package/nodemon) on file change: `nodemon -w style.css build.js`.
