Development Instructions:

First Time Only:

1. Fork the repo
2. Clone the repo down to your local machine and cd into it.
3. Run yarn in the repository to install local /node_module dependencies.
4. Duplicate & rename the file TEMPLATE.env.local into your own .env.local, which is already set to be ignored by git, for your dev API keys.
5. Create a new project at https://firebase.google.com. Once a project is created, go to Build > Firestore Cloud Database > Create Database. The default settings are fine. Then go to Project Settings > Service Accounts > Create New Private Key. That should download a credentials .json file. Copy values from that into the firebase section of your .env.local file.
6. Create a free account at https://sendgrid.com. Copy your API key into .env.local.

You're now set up for development 🎉

Every time:
