Architecture overview

• There is a server and a frontend module

• The server is a thin Typescript NodeJS app using Koa

  • The data is stored in Google's Firestore, and our NodeJS app just calls it and returns the result.
  • Payments and validations will happen here

• The frontend is written in Typescript and Preact. Preact is much like React (same syntax), but is a lot smaller in terms of final bundle size (the size of all the Javascript code being sent to the client)

  • The main focus is performance
  • The code is as simple and as explicit as possible - personal preference
  • The styles are in LESS and the CSS classes try to follow the BEM naming pattern

Running the app

• Go into each of the folders (frontend / server) and follow the instructions there
