Linklet is a simple Reddit/HackerNews clone. It uses Elixir/Phoenix for the backend and React/Redux in TypeScript for the frontend.

Requirements:

• Elixir/Erlang
• MySQL
• Node/NPM

To run locally:

• Enter your database credentials in config/dev.exs or export the appropriate env variables

• Install dependencies with mix deps.get and cd frontend; yarn install/npm install

• Create and migrate your database with mix ecto.create && mix ecto.migrate

• Start the Phoenix server. This will serve the build frontend files as well as provide the api.

  mix phoenix.server
  

• Start the frontend dev server. This serves the frontend using the webpack server so you get live reload.

  cd frontend
  yarn start
  

Now you can visit localhost:3000 from your browser. The Phoenix server runs on localhost:4000
