Repo tagger

A tagger application for github repositories

It's meant to be a usable application, but also a personal experiment on new technologies.

It may be available at: https://repo-tagger.herokuapp.com/

Note: I'm not persisting any data, I'm using an in memory DB to avoid heroku limitations, so don't expect your data to be there forever.

Record

What it does?

It let's you add personal tags to starred repositories and query them by those tags.

Running docker

If you have docker, you can build & run the app with:

docker build -t repo-tagger .
docker run -m512M --cpus 2 -it --env-file ./.env -p 8080:8080 --rm repo-tagger

Note: be sure to create the .env file with needed variables, they are explained on .env.example

Languages and frameworks

For frontend, I've chosen to use dart + flutter web, flutter is not really ready for production web apps (IMHO), but it's pretty good to develop something in it.

For backend, I've chosen to use kotlin + ktor + exposed (yeah, I like jetbrains, how did you know?). Everything works really well, but exposed lacks docs and is kinda confusing, except for that, it is not so hard do develop a server with this stack.
