I am a recent full stack engineer graduate from the Flatiron School. 2 months ago I came up with the idea that bootcamp graduates were the perfect candidates to help nonprofits with their technology problems. The problems could be as complicated as learning mangements system, or just a simple website redesign implimented by a webbuilder like Wix, Webflow, Wordpress, etc. What I had in mind ended up scoping down to doing what at first was very hard thing to accept; soley working with webbuilder platforms to design/redesign nonprofit websites.
The following is the basics to get started. At the end I postulate on state management with Redux and potential architecture decision if building out a web app with multiple plugins that are included or not included. I also have note explanations at the bottom to expand on things I found interesting, but you don’t need to know to do this.
Clickbait title for a clickbait theme, perhaps not. You decide if you can get your own experience after hearing my story.
