Karte von morgen (Map of Tomorrow)

Mapping for Good

von morgen supports kindness, sustainability and joint action. Everything that brings a little happiness to our world. We believe that living in a de‐stressed, environmental‐friendly and trust‐worthy society, is already in progress. We want to support people in finding ways to embrace those values.

The Map von morgen is a website and app, that allows users to share their favorite places in the world. Places that are forward‐thinking and inspiring. The goal is to collect projects, companies and events that make a world of tomorrow, already experienceable today.

Development

The general pattern is:

• server.*.js files are responsible for building and running "Karte von Morgen"
• .env loads for both the production mode and the development mode
• .env.development loads on the development mode but not the build mode. Hence any variable from the environment needed for building MUST be placed in server.build.*.js and for running in the server.start.*.js

• server.dev.js runs the project on local machine. it compiles pages on runtime and has more verbose error reporting but comes with a considerable speed. suitable for development but not user testing or production

  Development Mode With Hot-Reload

  yarn run dev

  Development Mode With Optimized Bundles

  yarn run build:dev
  yarn run start:dev

Production Mode

yarn run build:production
yarn run start:production

Process Scalability

After building the project you can run it with pm2

pm2 start "yarn run start:production" --name kartevonmorgen
