### Files

App configuration. Copy to `settings.php` and customize. Documented with inline comments.
* app.php
Handles the web part of the app. If you have problems with too many items on the navbar, change `$navbar_breakpoint`.
To change the navbar colors, find and edit `<nav class="navbar ...`, changing `navbar-dark bg-blue` to suit.
* static/img/logo.svg
The app logo. Should be a square, we don't test any other sizes.
* required.php

It loads Composer dependencies, app settings, language data, and creates `$database` for accessing the database.
It also has some utility functions, including `dieifnotloggedin()`, `is_empty($var)`, and `lang('key')`.
Read through it to see what those functions do.
