For World Octopus Day 2019, we put together a little micro-site to celebrate the awesomeness of our favourite ocean friend. Updated once a month (usually), on the 8th (or thereabouts), until we run out of facts. Octopuses are super weird, so it might take a while.

Development

Getting started

funfactsaboutoctopus.es uses Gatsby. To run a local copy, clone the repo to your local machine, and start the Gatsby server:

npm start

That's it! You can now find the site at localhost:8000.

All changes you make to front-end React code and styles will immediately be loaded. Any changes to gatbsy-config.js or gatsby-node.js require restarting the Gatsby server.

Using the design system

funfactsaboutoctopus.es uses the Nautilus design system under the hood. Since Nautilus is still very much under development, it's pulling from the latest changes made to the master GitHub branch, rather than the published version.

To pull the latest changes, uninstall and reinstall the Nautilus dependency:

npm uninstall nautilus && npm install --save octopusthink/nautilus

Facts about facts

We add a new fact every month, generally on or around the 8th. If you have a fact you'd like to see here, feel free to open an issue or a pull request to discuss!
