Collaborators:
An application designed for those who want to make a change in the world! This application connects to your bank account using Plaid and collects the round-ups from your transactions. The roundups are then added to a collective fund which gets donated to charities based on the votes of the collective. Votes are based on a quadratic voting system.
Use YOUR change to make a change!
Back End: Ruby on Rails Front End: React
You need TWO terminals for this.
In one terminal, run bundle in the root directory of the app to install the dependencies. Run bin/rake db:setup to create the databases (called rails_project_development by default). Run bin/rails s to run the server.
In the other terminal, cd into client. Run npm install. Then run npm start and go to localhost:3000 in your browser.
NOTE: You need at least Ruby~ 2.3.7 in order to run bundle. Please update your RVM first!
