Sol Journal
|
|
</h1>
|
|
|
|
A simple, minimal, journaling platform that works offline and across all devices. Installable as a PWA on mobile devices for easy access on a phone, inspired by [JournalBook](https://github.com/trys/JournalBook)
|
|
|
|
## 🚀 Getting Started
|
|
|
|
Sol Journal uses firebase to support offline functionality and authentication, a new Firebase app will need to be setup with Firestore as a database, be sure to add documents for `users` and `entries`, as well as enabling email for user authentication.
|
|
|
|
Install dependencies:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
yarn
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then configure a file in `.env` with the following keys from firebase:
|
|
```env
|
|
REACT_APP_FIREBASE_API_KEY=<BUNCHofRandomNumbersAndChars>
|
|
REACT_APP_DEV_AUTH_DOMAIN=<your-id.firebaseapp.com>
|
|
REACT_APP_DEV_DATABASE_URL=<https://your-id.firebaseapp.com>
|
|
REACT_APP_DEV_PROJECT_ID=<your-id>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Navigate into the project directory, and then launch the site with this command:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
yarn develop
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The site will be opened up in your default browser on http://localhost:3000
|
|
|
|
Edit code in the `/src`, save your changes, and they'll reload instantly in the browser.
|
|
|
|
## 🧐 What's inside?
|
|
|
|
The minimal landing page starter comes with a few plugins installed already, but it's main focus is on staying simple and looking clean. These things are included by default:
|
|
|
|
- 🔥 Firestore: Cloud firestore persists registered users to a users document and saved journal entries to an entries document
|
|
- 🎨 Dark Theme: the `src/styles/theme.js` file contains a set of colors and default styles that are applied to components with Emotion. A default light and dark theme are already in the file.
|
|
- ➗ Functions: Firebase functions are initialized in the `functions` directory, serverless functions managed by Firebase can be setup here (note: with the free Spark plan, functions can't make requests to external API's like Algolia)
|
|
|
|
## 💫 Deploy
|
|
|
|
To create an optimized build of the site run this command:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
yarn build
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
A `/build` folder will be assembled that can be deployed with this command:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
firebase deploy
|
|
```
