The Belfast Elixir Group's new website.
During the meetup of the 21st November 2019 the group decided to make a meetup clone due to the upcoming price introduction..
It was decided to split the project up into two distinct parts:
- The website (this app)
- An API to track members of upcoming/past events
The website will then injest this API.
To start the app:
mix deps.get
mix ecto.setup
cd assets && npm install
mix phx.server
Visit localhost:4000
.
We want to build a new website for the belfast elixir meetup group for several reasons:
-
meetup.com are now starting to charge per RSVP.
-
The site is currently just a blog, written in jekyll. It is no longer actively maintained.
-
We want to add new sections/features to the site that will enhance the website for both users and admins easily, which requires more than a 'markup blog'
We want to replace meetup. Meetup is really, at the guts of it - a website that allows you send out emails to a particular group and for the recipients to RSVP to the aforementioned meetup.
So with that thinking (this is up for discussion) we would like the following:
-
Several 'static' pages:
- Home
- About Us
- Code of Conduct
- Contact Us
-
Medium posts for writeups on meetups
-
TIL - some sort of oauth integration
Nothing fancy - just pages that don't need to be dynamically generated everytime.
This https://medium.com/retainable/how-to-embed-medium-on-your-website-the-easy-way-41ac0a13231e seems to be a good place to start.
As above
