Konarciq - Eco friendly adventures
TL;DR: This was my final project during the last two weeks of the coding bootcamp Le Wagon. Please note: this app is not ready for production. It is missing pundit, validations and many other things. I would like to thank @atmosfeer for being an awesome teacher.

Context
Between September and December 2017, I attended [Le Wagon], an intensive 9-week coding program focused on Full Stack Web Development in Copenhagen. During this program, I built a portfolio of web applications.
As my Final Project I was required to come up with (and develop) a project of my own to showcase what I had learned. The constraints were the following:
- it had to be substantial but also achievable
- it had to be completed in two weeks.
Timeframe: Two weeks
Summary
Recently I've become interested in Platform Cooperativism, P2P networks, Solarpunk and Open Source decentralized apps. I set myself a challenge to build a simple version of an online marketplace where users can host eco friendly adventures and allow travelers to book these online.
The goal with this application was to create the architecture and tech needed to make it happen.
The user has the ability to register, log in, look up adventures, select a time and book an adventure, and create a listing and manage their bookings. To make all of this happen, I had to build a Rails backend that facilitated user registration, Stripe payments, image uploading and many other features.
I enjoyed how Rails helped me be productive and allowed me to focus both on the backend and the frontend. Being able to work on both, thanks to my new skills, was very satisfying. I wrote my code following the 'DRY' principle, separating concerns and writing clean, functional and maintainable code.
Tech Stack
| Frontend | Backend | Database |
|---|---|---|
| [HTML 5] | [Rails] | [PostgreSQL] |
| [CSS 3] | [Heroku] | |
| [Javascript] | ||
| [Bootstrap] |
Installation
These instructions assume you have Ruby and Homebrew installed
$ git clone https://github.com/jeremyboom8/konarciq.git
$ cd konarciq
$ bundle install
$ cd config && touch application.ymlApplication.yml
Paste in the following code and populate it with your own keys:
CLOUDINARY_URL: 'cloudinary://xxxx@xxxx'
GOOGLE_API_SERVER_KEY: 'AIxxxx'
GOOGLE_API_BROWSER_KEY: 'AIxxxx'
STRIPE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY: "pk_test_PGFxxxx"
STRIPE_SECRET_KEY: "sk_test_dFLxxxx"Now we can set up a new database and populate it with the seed file.
$ rails db:create $ rails db:migrate $ rails db:seed
The project will be accessible on http://localhost:3000
