Development guide

• All of the pages are stored in the templates/ directory. Each page inherits from base.html and adds the necessary markup.
• All of the static files (CSS, JS, images, etc.) are stored in the api/static directory.
• See the templates for examples of extending the base template and accessing static files.
• Run a local server with python3 manage.py runserver 8000. You have to run a server to properly view the pages.
• You can create a new page in api/urls.py.
