You need Node v10, v12 has breaking changes.
npm run watch
. Doesn't watch for changes to assets, so you need to restart the server if you're changing those.
npm run serve
. Doesn't watch, just builds and starts a server.
npm run deploy
. Doesn't actually deploy, just puts files in dist/
that are minified, autoprefixed, etc. Copy those to the server.
Most photos will probably be responsive images. If that's the case, these are the widths to export.
640, 750, 1080, 1440, 1920, 2560
important phone widths: 640 (2x), 750 (2x), 1080 (3x), 1440 (3x) important desktop widths: 1366 (1x), 1920, 2304 (2x), 2560 (2x), 2880, 4096, 5120
That will get us crisp images on the most important devices.
Use the above widths on a 1680x448 artboard.
Go for a 670 wide artboard, then export at 1340w and 670w.

The best way to do that is to inspect the font metrics using the app. You can pull a font from Typekit by following these instructions. Note that sync'd fonts on Typekit often have different metrics than the web fonts.
