We're embarking on a journey to develop a mobile-first, intuitive, and modern web application inspired by the BC Government NMP Calculator (https://nmp.apps.nrs.gov.bc.ca/). Our intent is to make a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) based on the current NMP Calculator.
Our goal is to leverage technologies we're comfortable with, such as Postgres, Express, React, and Node (**PERN), while also exploring new tools like OpenShift, Progressive Web Apps, GitHub Actions, Docker and more.
This project is not just about building, it's a learning journey!
We're honored to receive support from British Columbia's Natural Resources Sustainment Team. A big thank you to them for making this project possible!
This repository was bootstrapped using the Quickstart for OpenShift (https://github.com/bcgov/quickstart-openshift).
