DISCUSSions

A place to enable frictionless townhall-style discussions with neighbours, or have a conversation with people from the other side of the world.

It manages multiple jitsi conversations/rooms with the possibility of setting room names, seeing & limiting number of participants.

This app is currently not deployed, although I could easily start one up if you want to see it working. I had to take it down because the credentials to the database are exposed, be aware of that if you're forking this. The risk of being hacked was too great while on a free tier (static website host).

Also, feel free to contribute & improve this code! (If you fork it you'll need to set up a firestore db and provide your own credentials).

svelte app

Get started

1. clone this project or create a fork (and clone that) onto your disc
2. Install the dependencies...

cd path/to/project
npm install

...then start Rollup:

npm run dev

Navigate to localhost:5000. You should see your app running. Edit a component file in src, save it, and reload the page to see your changes.

By default, the server will only respond to requests from localhost. To allow connections from other computers, edit the sirv commands in package.json to include the option --host 0.0.0.0.

Building and running in production mode

To create an optimised version of the app:

npm run build

You can run the newly built app with npm run start. This uses sirv, which is included in your package.json's dependencies so that the app will work when you deploy to platforms like Heroku.

Single-page app mode

By default, sirv will only respond to requests that match files in public. This is to maximise compatibility with static fileservers, allowing you to deploy your app anywhere.

If you're building a single-page app (SPA) with multiple routes, sirv needs to be able to respond to requests for any path. You can make it so by editing the "start" command in package.json:

"start": "sirv public --single"

Deploying to the web

With now

Install now if you haven't already:

npm install -g now

Then, from within your project folder:

cd public
now deploy --name my-project

As an alternative, use the Now desktop client and simply drag the unzipped project folder to the taskbar icon.

With surge

Install surge if you haven't already:

npm install -g surge

Then, from within your project folder:

npm run build
surge public my-project.surge.sh
