Cuiff

Daily standup meetings can be a pain in remote settings due to time zone differences. When people miss out, they can feel disconnected. On the other hand, Slack bot alternatives can make standups feel like a chore where people have to report what they are working on.

Cuiff provides teams with a long-form writing alternative to daily standups. The goal of this product is to improve autonomy and communication while boosting motivation by letting everyone see daily progress.

Getting Started

Prerequisites: Python 3.9.0.

$ git clone https://github.com/malikpiara/cuiff.git

$ cd cuiff

$ python3 -m venv venv              # Create a virtual environment.

$ source venv/bin/activate          # Activate your virtual environment.

$ pip install -r requirements.txt   # Install project requirements.

$ export FLASK_APP=app.py

$ export FLASK_ENV=development      # Enable hot reloading, debug mode.

$ flask run

The app will only work locally when the debug is enabled due to Flask-talisman, which forces all connects to https.

The default content security policy is extremely strict and will prevent loading any resources that are not in the same domain as the application. Here are some examples on how to change the default policy.

Setting up the database

Create a .env file in the root directory of your project and connect the app to a MongoDB atlas cluster.
