You can take a look at the hosted version on heroku: https://ustk-writer.herokuapp.com

This is a notebook app written in typescript using koa for the backend and react+redux for the frontend.

## Getting started

First, install all of the dependencies with `npm i` and `cd frontend && npm i`

You also need to create a ormconfig.json and ormconfig.test.json (only if you want to run the tests). You can use ormconfig.example.json as an example (you only need to change the database connection settings)

**or**

Open the workspace in a remote docker container using VSCode - everything should be set up for you.

Then start with `npm run dev` and visit http://localhost:1234 (Parcel dev server is listening at http://localhost:1234, and koa at http://localhost:3000)
