iznik-nuxt
Iznik is a platform for online reuse of unwanted items. This is a work-in-progress rewrite of the existing client, which you can find here.
The aim is to produce something that looks very much like the existing site, but with a more modern codebase, and a fair number of niggles smoothed out. More significant changes can come later.
The development has been funded by Freegle for use in the UK, but it is an open source platform which can be used or adapted by others. Other contributors very welcome, especially those with design/UX expertise.

Development
You'll need npm (>= v5.5.1) and node (>= 8.9.4). Then install all the dependencies:
npm install
Then start the dev server:
npm run dev
This will serve up the site at localhost:3000.
It will watch for changes and do hot module reloading.
Technologies
Briefly:
- Nuxt, which is Vue (so we get all that nice reactive stuff), with a standard layout and (crucially) a good Server Side Rendering solution.
- BootstrapVue, which is Bootstrap v4 for Vue/Nuxt.
Current Status
This is getting close to Beta.
- The pages you can access from the menu bar are basically done.
- There are lots of other bits and pieces, and many TODOs in the code.
- We've done a first pass for how it displays on a mobile, but there will be some niggles at different screen sizes.
- We've tested on Chrome only, and very few mobiles/tablets.
There are some specific pages that still need doing:
- Plugins - are they still used?
- /mydata
- /councils
