Named for the Earth deity of Greek mythology, Gaia is the frontend of Agora. Gaia works in tandem with Ouranos, the backend.
For more information about how Gaia works, visit our Wiki.
Make sure you have the latest version of yarn installed.
As always, clone this repository and cd into it. Run yarn install to install all needed dependencies.
Before running anything, you'll need to create a file named .env in the repository's root.
Inside it, add the following line:
REACT_APP_SOCKET_SERVER=<your local server instance>Replace <your local server instance> with the URL of your local server instance (see Agora Ouranos), e.g. http://localhost:3000.
With that in place, starting a local development instance of the frontend is as simple as running yarn start.
(Note that if you want to be able to connect to this instance from other machines on your local network using your machine's local IP address (192.168._._), you'll have to add an additional --host=0.0.0.0.)
To generate a production build, simply run yarn build.
The resulting files can be found in the dist/ directory.
Simply open dist/index.html to run the site.
- Add moderation capabilities.
- Try to support drawing on touch screens.
- Paths are unantialiased. Not too big a deal, but it can be a little frustrating.
- Not a bug per se (or at least not one we'll fix), but if a user tries to open multiple windows to draw on one computer, they will be in for a confusing time.
