cd Effective-Office

  2. Install Git hooks for development:

    ./scripts/install.sh

  3. Configure environment variables:

    cp backend/app/src/main/resources/env.example backend/app/src/main/resources/.env

    Edit the .env file with your configuration.

AI Tools in Development

We actively use Junie, the AI coding agent from JetBrains, in the development and refactoring of Effective Office.
Junie helped us speed up backend initialization, migrate features from legacy code, and generate documentation and boilerplate.
We continue to use it as part of our workflow, combining automation with careful developer review.

Roadmap

TV

A TV application featuring a corporate news and photo feed, event announcements with external registration, Duolingo and sports leaderboards, and an internal currency tracker. Currently in development.

SMS Router

A service for automatic routing of incoming SMS messages to the appropriate channels and systems. Supports dual SIM and eSIM, operates in the background, and routes messages based on the recipient number — improving the security and reliability of the infrastructure. Currently in development.

Foosball Tracker

An application for tracking foosball match results. It allows users to log games, maintain leaderboards, and view statistics — all to encourage friendly competition in the office. Currently in development.
