Iznik is a platform for online reuse of unwanted items. This is a work-in-progress rewrite of the existing client, which you can find here.

The aim is to produce something that looks very much like the existing site, but with a more modern codebase, and a fair number of niggles smoothed out. More significant changes can come later.

The development has been funded by Freegle for use in the UK, but it is an open source platform which can be used or adapted by others. Other contributors very welcome, especially those with design/UX expertise.

This code is licensed under the GPL v2 (see LICENSE file). If you intend to use it, Freegle would be interested to hear about it; you can mail [email protected].

You'll need npm (>= v5.5.1) and node (>= 8.9.4). Then install all the dependencies:

npm install

Then start the dev server:

npm run dev

This will serve up the site at localhost:3000.

It will watch for changes and do hot module reloading.

Briefly:

• Nuxt, which is Vue (so we get all that nice reactive stuff), with a standard layout and (crucially) a good Server Side Rendering solution.
• BootstrapVue, which is Bootstrap v4 for Vue/Nuxt.

This is getting close to Beta.

• The pages you can access from the menu bar are basically done.
• There are lots of other bits and pieces, and many TODOs in the code.
• We've done a first pass for how it displays on a mobile, but there will be some niggles at different screen sizes.
• We've tested on Chrome only, and very few mobiles/tablets.

There are some specific pages that still need doing:

• Plugins - are they still used?
• /mydata
• /councils

BrowserStack is supporting Freegle, allowing us to use their service and infrastructure to test the code in this repository. Thank you for supporting the open source community!
