What is Favours?
My goal is to create a local marketplace application where users post small-jobs (favours) in exchange for cash; currently in beta. Favours-io plays out in the domain of collaborative consumption. Need a favour? Or want to make some quick cash committing to a favour? The application aims at bringing local communities together by leveraging local connections you have through existing social networks. Open-source and free.
Components
This back-end codebase is found on on a Linode Linux server with SSH and firewalls (UFW) enabled. Running an Apache http server from Django's WSGI, and serving our static files on AWS S3. Kudos to LetsEncrypt for free SSL! The goal is to then leverage Django's built-in REST API to be consumed by Flutter for native mobile application.
