Hello and welcome 👋. This is the repository for the Natives in Tech website. The website was created to give Natives in Tech a presence on the web and make it easier for this organization to be found by search engines. There are a lot of talented Native developers out there and we want to do our best to connect with them. This project is open source and we welcome contributions from the open source community! Please be advised we do have a Code of Conduct. Please give that a read if you would like to be a contributor. Thank you again for visiting this repo and we hope you can contribute your talent to this effort.
This project uses modern tooling to build the site. Below is a list of those tools and resources you can find to learn more about them in case you are interested in contributing to the project in the future.
ReasonML is a functional programming language that compiles down to JavaScript. It provides a lot of ES2016+ features out of the box and has bindings to popular libraries like React. This project uses ReasonReact as its templating and style language. Specifically, we are using Phenomic's ReasonReact configuration. Because of this, there are some residual files which are not being used currently but will likely be utilized in the future.
In some instances JavaScript is needed. For example, in the App.js and Html.js files.
The bs-css library is the CSS-in-JS library used to style components/elements on the page. It uses the popular emotion library under the hood. Global styles can be found in global.css. For minifying and other post processing PostCSS is used.
Deployment of the master branch and pull requests are built through the Netlify service. This makes it easy for maintainers and contributors to check their work before merging into the master branch.
For a local development environment webpack is utilized.
Packages are managed using yarn for more deterministic builds.
Running the application locally requires a few steps.

- A page for users to nominate others for Awesome Natives in Tech
- A fancy error page for when pages don't exist (current error page looks 🤮)
- Move blog from Medium to this site
- Build out a test suite to test the site
- Make this site awesome in anyway possible 😂
