  - [x] Add Makefile
  - [ ] Add GPLV3 License
+ - [ ] Add `make release` target that is nix ready...
  - [ ] Determine if `src/Body.elm` or pages in `src/Page` should have subscription functions
  - [ ] use actix backend that maps most root requests to serve `actix_file::Files`
  - [ ] Submit to slack for feedback...
