DigiSnaxx

1 min read featured

DigiSnaxx is an open-source / open-books community calendar and directory.

Built on open-source technology, DigiSnaxx exists outside of the tech-conglomerates, and so is designed from the inside-out to serve local, independent, individuals, businesses, and communities.

Founded on providing a real product, up-to-date event information, directory and map; DigiSnaxx is open-source itself; and doubles as a learning lab for the Rebel Coding curriculum.

DataSnaxx provides API access to the DigiSnaxx event, directory, survey and advertisement database.

Tech Stack

DigiSnaxx is built on the Python Django project for database management, and API services, and the Vue framework for the user-interface.

Our mapping features are built using LeafletJS and utilize the OpenStreetMap project.

The event and directory database are built using SQLite, while the member database is built on a self-hosted instance of the Ghost platform and encrypted using MariaDB; the entire website is served via Nginx.

Presently DigiSnaxx is served from a Digital Ocean droplet; though we seek to make the code run in a distributed manner in the future, looking into using Turso for this, so as to maintain a smaller footprint with the database as well.
