Teenie Search: In-Gallery App

A custom search application created for Carnegie Museum of Art's Teenie Harris Archive. The Teenie Harris Archive is a collection of over 50,000 negatives, which have been digitally scanned.

  • This is the site being served at the museum. For best vewing results, view on an iPad, use the web inspector to emulate a iPad, or resize your browser window to reflect iPad porportions.

Development

This project was bootstrapped with Create React App.

In the root directory, you can run:

npm start

Starts a node express server which serves the static app from the client/build folder.
Open http://localhost:5000 to view it in the browser.

npm run build

Runs build script in the client directory (see below)

In the client directory, you can run:

npm start

Runs the (serverless) app in the development mode.
Open http://localhost:3000 to view it in the browser.

npm run build

Builds the app for production to the build folder.
It correctly bundles React in production mode and optimizes the build for the best performance.
