Also brought to you by Aidan, Brian and Emily. As with any fun project, you never do it alone.
The premise of this project was the idea that some degree of contemporary social media inherently forms 'echo chambers', and this was a prototype of reinventing this - with no more large influencing/following and attempting to find a things in common in a coffee chat asking about opinions - hence the "common grounds" pun.
Whatever we brewed up, we forgot to keep the secrets in the secrets section and have mirrored and redacted various components of this project (search for "REDACTED"). As such, you'll need to replace them with your own secrets (hopefully clearly labeled).
As we speak, there's a front-end at https://commongrounds.app/, and a backend at https://finebrew.azurewebsites.net/questions (HTTPS only), but we make no promises about reliability or uptime (it'll probably be taken down after treehacks)
In one terminal tab:
cd frontendtouch .env.localecho "NEXT_PUBLIC_SOCKET_HOST=ws://localhost:8080\nNEXT_PUBLIC_BACKEND_HOST=http://localhost:8080\n" >> .env.localyarn installyarn dev
In another terminal tab:
cd backendpip install -r requirements.txtpython server.py
