In September 2020, I was selected as one of eight students across the United States to work in BitCamp Serverless. After working with Microsoft engineers to learn about serverless architecture design and development, I created Flux.

Problem: Fluctuations in renewable energy risk access to power, and causes us to use dirtier electricity.

Solution: Flux aims to reduce a user's carbon footprint and mitigate fluctuations in demand by periodically informing them of their regional power grid's demand through SMS text messaging.

For a little more background on the creation of Flux, see my website.

Important Note: This repository does not contain the code of the actual Azure Function that powers the Flux service. This is only the React-powered frontend that receives a user's information and stores it into Azure's Cosmos DataBases.

1. Download this repository onto your local machine.
2. Navigate to the folder in your computer's terminal.
3. Run the following command: npm start.
4. You should now be able to see Flux's frontend website being run locally now.

Note: In case this doesn't work, try installing Anaconda and using their cmd prompt instead.
