UWBlueprint Starter-Code

The starter code for UWBlueprint projects! Made with love by the project-infra team!

Introduction

We are UW Blueprint, a student-run organization at the University of Waterloo. We build technology for non-profit organizations free of charge! We've found that it takes several weeks for each team to setup the boilerplate code for their projects and that projects independently converge to very similar tech stacks. To solve this issue, we've created the starter-code project! The starter-code project allows teams to setup, develop, and deploy projects faster which allows UW Blueprint to better serve our non-profit partners.

The Tech Stack

These technologies are proven, popular, easy to learn, and provide fast development speeds.

  • React + Redux
  • Python + Flask
  • PostgreSQL
  • Firebase

Creating a Project using StarterCode

Example Project

The starter-code project shows how to build on top of the boilerplate code using the following scenario:

Recycling Race!!!

A local elementary school is running a recycling race between all of the classes! Each class is fiercely competing to recycle the most items! They’ve asked UW Blueprint to build an app that can help keep track of each class’ recycling progress.
