Bitstarter

Bitstarter is a simple crowdfunding landing page for Teacher's Pet, plus a CLI utility that validates HTML structure using CSS selectors.

What changed

The project has been modernized from a legacy tutorial baseline:

• Upgraded runtime targets to modern Node/npm engine versions.
• Replaced deprecated server patterns (including new Buffer(...)) with a small Node HTTP server.
• Simplified grader.js argument parsing and selector checks so the grader runs without missing external packages.
• Moved inline CSS/JS into separate files under assets/.
• Refreshed page branding/content and replaced insecure http:// asset links with https:// where applicable.
• Added real automated tests for both web serving and HTML grading.
