Setup

Install dependencies:

npm i

Running the client server locally:

npm run start

Running tests:

npm run test

Note: Even if you aren't developing the backend, you should set up the the backend and run it locally so that the frontend has a local API to talk to.

Overview of Codebuddies

What is CodeBuddies?

CodeBuddies is a remote-first community of independent code learners who enjoy sharing knowledge and helping each other learn faster via discussions and pairing. It is free and open-sourced, and supported by open source contributors and financial backers on our Open Collective.

CodeBuddies website Version 3 (CBV3)

We are building out a new platform (CBV3) to replace an older MeteorJS project which currently runs the codebuddies.org site.

Sponsors

Big thanks to the sponsors of this project!

Role of the front-end

The front-end is a React app that aims to let users at a bare minimum:

• submit resources
• meet remotely on Zoom to pair, show off a project, hack on an open source project, or study together.

Helpful links

1/ CBV3's backend API is built using Django and Django REST Framework.

2/ Some Google doc technical notes from hangouts/pairing sessions

3/ We have a technical decision log here and a group blog experiment here

4/ Crowdsourced brainstorm of problems we want to solve for our community with this platform

Technologies we're using

• React (hooks)
• Storybook
• React testing library
• Django REST Framework (for the backend API)

Application Deployment

Special thanks to Netlify for sponsoring our front-end hosting!
