The backend server for Phoebe, a platform for queer housing.

In light of safety amongst the LGBTQ+ community, many queer people face difficulties and risk homelessness due to their identity. Acknowledging the uphill battle, Phoebe was inspired to provide a platform where queer people can search for safe alternatives provided by other queer folks.

Phoebe aims to match queer people with other queer folks who are struggling or will struggle to find a place to live because of their queerness (e.g. being transgender). It is often far more comfortable for queer people to live together than living with those who may pose a risk. In addition, Phoebe also accounts for polyamory relationships and offers the ability to seek housing in groups.

This project uses Nix for development. If you have Nix installed, you can simply run nix develop to enter a development environment with all the necessary dependencies.

Otherwise, you may use Poetry to set up your development environment.

Then, you can run the following commands:

./main.py --database :memory: --port 5469

The backend comes with integration tests using hurl. You can run the tests with the following command:

./tests/run

Note that hurl is installed in the Nix development environment, so you will not need to install it separately.
