+# Microformats JavaScript/Node Parser Website
+
+Website for Microformats JavaScript parser (based on pin13.net by [@aaronpk](https://github.com/aaronpk)).
+
+https://node.microformats.io
+
+## Deployment
+
+All commits to the `main` branch get auto-deployed to the live website [running on Heroku](https://node.microformats.io).
+
+### Git workflow

+* Bump the version in `package.json` to `x.y.z`
+* Merge `release/x.y.z` to `main`. This will trigger the [deployment](#deployment).
