Want to fix a bug or implement an agreed-upon feature? Great, jump to the local setup instructions!
With the ground rules out of the way, let's talk about the coarse architecture of this mono repo:
- Full-stack TypeScript: We use Node.js to power our servers, and React to power our frontend apps. Almost all of the code you'll touch in this codebase will be TypeScript.
Here is a list of all the big technologies we use:
- PostgreSQL: Data storage
- Redis: Background jobs and caching
- Express: API server
- TypeScript: Type-safe JavaScript
- React: Frontend React app
