CyC is a free and open database and web application for enabling those in need(recepients) publish their stories and reach out to those who would like to help out(donors). One might think of it as the ground for getting to know people's stories and helping them if in a position to.
The main content are Recepient-Donor relations: The recepient provides,their names, information, life story in structured documents that include all of the necessary information for a donor to reach out. i.e.: Think about war heroes/veterans, widows, terminally ill(cancers, paralysm), Natural disaster survivers(earthquakes, floods, tsunami's, etc) , etc. In this Freebase platform, recepients can find donors to either advice, make a donation, help by giving a resource(like a job) or simply comfort them like “ Share their stories too”
CyC - short acronym for Choose your Cause.
You will need to install Ruby, Rails before you can get a CyC server up and running on your local machine. Once you have these prerequisites to get started with a local copy of the project, run:
1. Open your terminal.
2. `$ git clone https://github.com/jiimms/cyc` - stores the repository in your machine using git.
3. `$ cd cyc` - change to the cyc directory
4. `$ bundle install`
5. `$ rake db:setup`
6. `$ rails s`Then, visit http://127.0.0.1:3000/ in your browser to see the CyC web application running on your local machine. If all went well, you will have a seeded database and can use the account [email protected] with password secret for the admin account, [email protected] with password secret (for the donor account) and [email protected] with password secret for the recepient account.
