YourTurn

YourTurn enables everyone to stay connected during the Corona crisis. In our app, people can create a challenge, invite their friends, find challenges in their neighborhood, and win prizes. Do you have it to show everyone you're the best in removing trash in the forest or to show a bike champion that you can do a wheelie while wearing a face mask? Furthermore, YourTurn users can create public and private challenges with or without prizes. Also, they can choose to donate a certain amount of the prize pool for social causes.

We built a native App with React Native. In this way, we generated native Apps for Android, iOS, and the web. We connected our App to a FastAPI backend that is deployed on Amazon Web Services. To ease the hosting and deployment, we are running the backend inside a Docker container. The backend accesses data from a MongoDB that is also hosted on AWS.

Start backend

• Run pip3 install -r requirements.txt to install the needed requirements.
• Run uvicorn main:app --reload inside the backend folder.

Start frontend

• Run npm install in the frontend folder to install the required node modules.
• Run npm start to start the application with expo. Additional flags are --android, --ios or --web for the corresponding sources.
