⚠️ Due to a lack of time, I abandoned this project and no longer own the domain kudos-box.com.

Kudos-box

Source code of kudos-box.com

At work, we had a cardboard box where we could leave anonymous notes to praise other colleagues. It was called the Kudos Box, and that was the origin of the idea for this project.

I tried to find a digital alternative to it, but since I couldn’t find anything suitable, I decided to create it myself. Well, I probably just wanted to write some code, and that was a good excuse for me to do it 😅.

Features:

• create anonymous messages in a box
• only members of a box are able to see the messages

Development setup

This project uses docker-compose for development.

• Create a .env file from the template env_template_dev with the desired values.

• Build the development image: docker-compose build

• Run docker-compose up and go to http://0.0.0.0:8000 to see your runserver.

• Create a superuser: docker-compose run --rm django /app/manage.py createsuperuser

• Create the demo box (not password restricted): docker-compose run --rm django /app/manage.py create_demo_box

Useful commands

• Run the tests: docker-compose run --rm django /app/manage.py test

• Black: docker-compose run --rm django black .

• Isort: docker-compose run --rm django isort .

To-dos

• Notify box members via email when a new message arrives
