Contributing

  1. Check work backlog here
  2. Fork this repository to your own GitHub account and then clone it to your local device
  3. Install the dependencies: yarn
  4. Acquire a key from google maps javascript api
  5. Build the code, start the app, and watch for changes: GOOGLE_MAPS=YOURKEY yarn run dev

To make sure that your code works in the finished app, you can generate the binary using:

$ yarn run build

Make sure to include your google maps key in the ../components/Maps.js file before building and remember to not commit it. I will do a way to use it as ENV but it doesn't work for the build, just for dev environment for now.

After that, you'll see the binaries in the packed folder.
