It used to be a pain to find and browse through the list of licensed mental health counselors in Florida. You had to go to the gov website, navigate their menu, find what you wanted in a huge dropdown (I'm talking 100s of options), then find the download link (It's not big or noticeable at all). The worst part? It's not even a download link. It opens a text file in a new tab, which you then have to save as, import to excel, and customize the import by having it delimit rows on new lines, and columns on |'s.
This was a process which used to require some technical understanding and a lot of patience. Which is where this tool comes into play. All you have to do to get the information you want is go to the site and search for it.
I created this repo with ease of development in mind. I eschewed any frameworks or plugins and instead elected to create a simple express server and a react.js front end. The project is built and served automatically by Parcel.js.
Server content belongs in server/. Client content belongs in src/. The production build is served from dist/ automatically by the parcel middleware, and the database is stored in '.data/.
To install the dependencies:
npm installTo start the dev server:
npm run devTo start the prod server:
npm startI just ask that you follow my loose interpretation of semantic commit messages. Just take a look at the commit log for examples.
If you're working on a particular issue, make sure to comment on it so I can mark it as in progress and there's no duplicate effort spent. I'll remove in progress from issues that don't have any activity for 1-2 weeks, to free them up for others to work on (myself included).
