Alowa Apps

Alowa Apps is a small company who deliver (web)apps with a clear purpose, great usability and awesome technology. We focus on e-health but we don't stay away from a little sidesteps like our online quiz tool (kwizz.guru) or a starter for apps built on AWS amplify & expo. We are big believers of the open source community and try to make contributions to that where ever we can.

Open source

We would like to open source this app so everyone can contribute. It would be great to improve UX, the quality of code, add automated tests and add new features.

Technology

This app is completely build in javascript with https://reactjs.org/ for the Front End and AWS Amplify for the Back End. We are using AWS Amplify datastore to sync data between clients and AWS.

Set up AWS Amplify

AWS Amplify CLI needs to be installed. The Amplify CLI is a command line tool that allows you to create & deploy various AWS services.

To install the CLI, we'll run the following command:

$ npm install -g @aws-amplify/cli

Next, configure the CLI with a user from the AWS account:

$ amplify configure
