foodsaving frontend
Frontend for the foodsaving tool using AngularJS 1.5 (component-based style). Read more about our contribution guidelines.
The backend had quite some progress in the last months and is currently in a stable state. If you find a bug or miss something in the API, please file an issue in the backend repository.
We used the NG6-starter kit.
yunity and foodsaving
The foodsaving tool will be the first release of the yunity platform. The FSINT team within yunity provides additional resources to build up foodsaving. At a later point, more features could be added that support the yunity vision and mission, e.g. multi-sharing communities, item pooling, integrated decision making (syscon).
Current development goals
- user: sign-up with name and email address
- group/community: create a group, add yourself to a group, leave a group, set up name, description, address and position of a group
- store: create a store which belongs to a group, set up name, description, address and position of a store
- pick-ups: create a pick-up date which belongs to a store, set time and max. amount of ppl who can collect food, user can enter themselves for pick-up
- conversations: write messages to one or more people (present in the backend but is not a priority task for frontend)
We are keeping the features down to a minimum (check out that meeting's notes), in order to progressively build up a useful tool.
Potential users
In future, we want our feature requests to come directly from foodsaving communities, to fulfill their needs and desires.
We don't have testing communities yet: we are in touch with existing foodsaving networks who have shown interest in testing the tool once it presents sufficient features for them.
Translation
We are using Transifex to provide the foodsaving tool in many languages. To help us with translation, please create an account and apply for foodsaving tool group.
