SandForms

Sandforms is a online forms application that priortizes simplicity and data autonomy: you control how to use data you collect through these forms.

Sandforms is built for Sandstorm, a platform that allows you to easily host applications on your personal server.

Motivations

• We want to reduce our society's reliance on proprietary software by creating user-friendly alternatives to centralized services that monetize personal information.

• We want to improve the safety of those who work to protect individuals’ liberties online by providing software that actively protects their privacy.

Build Status

Developer Setup (Lite)

To run the webapp without Vagrant

1. Install Meteor here
2. Start running the app meteor
3. Visit your localhost:3000

To see multiple, small UI changes faster, you can run the webapp without Velocity’s constantly running tests:

VELOCITY=0 meteor

Developer Setup (Heavy)

SandForms uses Meteor and vagrant-spk, so dev setup is quite easy.

1. You will need vagrant-spk installed. If you get an error running the following command, follow the vagrant-spk installation instructions

$ vagrant-spk -h
usage: /home/jack/bin/vagrant-spk [-h] [--work-directory WORK_DIRECTORY]
...

2. Make sure you have virtualbox installed before bringing up vagrant vm

$ VirtualBox -h
Oracle VM VirtualBox Manager 5.0.0
...

3. Bring up the Vagrant VM

$ vagrant-spk vm up

4. Start the application in dev mode

$ vagrant-spk dev

5. Navigate to the Sandstorm dev instance
