Forking / Reusing code for local communities #47

Closed jrgabler closed 2 years ago

jrgabler commented 3 years ago

Not an issue, but I wanted to know if I could fork / use this codebase as a launching point for my local community (Rochester, NY). I think this is a great idea and the community could definitely use this service right now. We currently have images going around with the resources, but that is not always comprehensive or accurate.

It’s my intention to reach out to knowledgeable people in Rochester to verify the local sources as well as other members in the community to help customize it for local services.

I really like the idea of spreading this to more locations! A simple, mobile way to see community resources could be used everywhere.

I'd vote for something more centralized vs forking. That way the app and pwa could stay similar (one app that can service all areas). The location specific info could be done in markdown or json. Or, if you wanted to get fancier, a headless CMS (like strapi or something).

Go for it! It's open source of course - so feel free to do whatever you want with it - forking, doesn't matter to us!

However, we just had a meeting to figure out ongoing support for this project, and other cities came up as a requested feature. We do want to eventually support multiple cities within the not911 app, like @mhelmetag suggested.

Any little bit of contribution is appreciated!
