Destiny

Many of us live alone and wander through life. Enter Destiny. Destiny matches you to a pet and a passion to help you devote yourself to caring for another living thing and refine a craft to call your own. Our focus is increasing pet adoption in the California area and swapping idle hands for joyous memories.

Getting Started

First clone the repository:

git pull https://github.com/gideontong/Destiny.git

Backend

Requires Python 3.7+ to be installed on PATH.

pip3 install -r requirements.txt
python3 app.py

Frontend

Requires Node 12+ to be installed on PATH.

npm install
npm start

Building for Deployment

Please use a production server to serve the frontend and backend (separately). Your use of a reverse proxy, secure authentication, or SSL is up to you.

Backend Deployment

This example assumes you are using gunicorn as your backend server.

gunicorn app:webservice

You can also alternatively build the Python package into a Wheel and use

webservice.run()

as an entry point.

Frontend Deployment

cd destiny-app
npm run build

Your build is now in destiny-app/build. Eject your build and deploy to a cloud service like Firebase, Google Cloud, AWS, or another cloud deployment tool. Alternatively, build a static server or use a dynamic service like Express.

The Path

There are two steps to fulfilling your destiny:

• Pet
• Passion

The Pet

We have sourced over 60,000 pets available for adoption in California to aid you in giving one a forever home.

The Passion

Our list of passions span topics from Well-being to Relationships.

Tech Stack

Our frontend is constructed with React and the backend with the Flask framework. Our data comes as the result of web scraping using Python.
