This project is being created with the help of Claude AI by supplying it with the Sveltekit Documentation and the Lindsey Arc Website Requirements. Claude AI generated the basic code for the project entire website with the spec above, the full code here: Full code response

Tailwind CSS was used, this can easily be added to a SvelteKit Project by following these instructions: https://tailwindcss.com/docs/installation

MariaDB is used for all persistent data:

6. Security Testing: Conduct security audits and penetration testing to identify and address any vulnerabilities in the website.

Building Mobile Apps

To compile the Lindsey Arc Website into Android and iOS apps, you can use tools like Capacitor or Cordova. These tools allow you to package your web app into native mobile apps.

Here's a general outline of the steps involved:

1. Install the necessary dependencies:

   npm install @capacitor/core @capacitor/cli
   

2. Initialize Capacitor in your project:

   npx cap init
   

3. Build your SvelteKit app for production:

   npm run build
   

4. Add the desired mobile platforms:

   npx cap add android
   npx cap add ios
   

5. Sync your web app with the native projects:

   npx cap sync
   

6. Open the native projects in their respective IDEs:

   npx cap open android
   npx cap open ios
   

7. Build and run the mobile apps using the native IDEs (Android Studio for Android, Xcode for iOS).

Note that building mobile apps may require additional configuration and setup specific to each platform. Refer to the Capacitor or Cordova documentation for detailed instructions on customizing and optimizing your mobile apps.
