+# Javascript toolchain for IRVisualizer: the single page web application
+
+## Features:
+
+* To trigger Github's online Dependabot alerts for security vulnerabilities.
+
+* To enable static analyzer for the Javascript/ES6 language.
+
+* To visualize the Halide IR and the assembly code interactively
+with a web browser.
+
+## Usage:
+
+* Execute `yarn install` to scan for broken Javascript dependencies.
+
+* (To be completed) execute `yarn run lint` to scan the main script for potential syntax errors and
+  bugs.
+
+## Recommended Makefile build rules
+
+```make
+ESBUILD=node_modules/.bin/esbuild
+ESLINT=node_modules/.bin/eslint
+
+help:  ## Display this help
+	@awk 'BEGIN {FS = ":.*##"; printf "\nUsage:\n  make \033[36m<target>\033[0m\n\nTargets:\n"} /^[a-zA-Z_-]+:.*?##/ { printf "  \033[36m%-10s\033[0m %s\n", $$1, $$2 }' $(MAKEFILE_LIST)
+
+all: depend build    ## Download dependencies and build everything
+
+depend:    ## Download Nodejs dependencies
+	yarn install
+
+watch:    ## Debug mode, monitor file changes and then compile automatically
+	yarn run watch
+
+build:   ## Release mode, optimize and minimize the Javascript file
+	yarn run build
+
+lint:    ## Run static analyzer on the main javascript
+	yarn run lint
+
+.PHONY: depend watch build lint
+```
+
+## Development roadmap
+
+* [ ] Rename the extensions from `*.template.html` to `template/*.[js|css|html]`.
+
+* [ ] Modernize the main script to ES6.
+
+* [ ] Import all dependencies with the `import` statement, not via the `<script>` tag.
+
+* [ ] Resolve all static analyzer warnings, e.g. "buttonHide" is already defined, "btns.size()" is undefined, etc.
+
+* [ ] Invoke `make build` to bundle all dependencies, stylesheets, and
+  javascripts from the `template/` folder to the output folder
+  `distribution/bundle.[js|css]`; to embed all bundled code into the single HTML
+  file, so that users can browse the IRVisualizer output without Internet access.
