Care Amarillo Provider System

The first open-source distributed system for local providers.

Intro

In Amarillo, Texas at the community college I graduated from, they introduced Code Academy. My classmates and I created a system that will be used initially for local shelters. The idea is that the system will be managed by your local government. The admin will create the shelter and user, then give the initial credentials to the manager of the provider. The provider can then change update their credentials and fill in information such as location, bed count, name, slogan, etc. The provider can look at graphs of their bed count data changing. The admin can look at graphs of data of all provider bed counts, any information that was updated and created by every user, and disable/hide managing users and shelters.

Technologies Used

We created the frontend using React.js and the backend using Node.js. There is some code clean up and folder restructuring needed, which I plan to implement soon, and possibly document those changes. Here are the technologies we used to develop this app. I also plan to document how to set up the project.

Mailgun

Mailgun is an email service. We mainly use it to send the password reset email. It’s pretty easy to set up. This is a backend package.
