-# Kalkutago
-
-A multi-user Tickmate clone for the web
-
-## Development
-### Before you start
-The backend uses a postgres server which is not tracked as a part of the
-repository, and neither is the password for it. You'll need to generate a
-password by doing something like
-
-```console
-openssl rand -base64 36 > server/postgres.pw
-```
-
-The development environment uses Traefik to reverse-proxy the API and dev
-server. In production, the API will serve the client directly, but this system
-allows you to run the dev server behind a reverse proxy so that changes are
-rendered quickly without having to rebuild the container. Using the vite dev
-server also gets us better debugging in the browser. 
-
-However, that means that Traefik needs a hostname to listen for. The way I've
-done this is by adding the following entry to my `/etc/hosts` file:
-
-```
-127.0.0.1 kalkutago
-```
-
-### Server
-The server is written in Rust, using Rocket and SeaOrm. It uses Rust nightly, so
-you'll need to `rustup override set nightly`, though it gets built in docker so
-you really only need this for IDE support.
-
-### Client
-
-The client is a Vue application. It has a central state in
-[`state.ts`](client/src/state.ts). On application load, the state is initialized
-by fetching the current tracks and ticks via the API, and then subscribes to
-updates from the server by opening an EventSource at `/api/v1/updates`.
-
-The basic flow is:
- - a user interaction happens which should trigger a state change
- - the action is dispatched to the server (e.g. by making a PATCH request to
-   `/api/v1/tracks/<track_id>/ticked`)
- - the server makes the appropriate change to the database
- - an event is dispatched to the event sources subscribed via `/api/v1/updates`
- - The client receives the event, the reactive state is updated, and the UI
-   changes to match the expected state.
-
-### Running for development
-
-`docker-compose_dev.yml` is symlinked to `docker-compose.yml` for now, so once
-the hostname is set up Just run `docker-compose up --build` and visit
-http://kalkutago/ to open the app
-
-### Populating the database
-In order to see the UI components I add a track to the database like
-
-```console
-curl --json '{"name": "test", "description": "test track", "icon": "❓", "enabled": 1}' kalkutago/api/v1/tracks
-```
