You can try it out at aengusmcmillin.com/brain. The code is linked from there, but it is still super rough. Going to be cleaning it up and hoping to publish it as a gatsby plugin soon.

, I'm going to be trying to incorporate this into my BASB system

Also, may be of interest to the #roamcult

Nice! Was just thinking about how to add bi-directional links to my Gatsby site last weekend but so glad you beat me to the punch. Definitely installing this plugin when you get it all cleaned up 🙌

Sorry to bother you both. I am working with a non-profit that is looking to build a simple mobile-optimized web app to help marginalized women with reproductive health resources. What is the best platform to build it on? Thanks

I'm by no means a web dev expert, but from my experience it largely depends on what you need. If you just need static content, build it in Gatsby (or maybe even something like Squarespace or Wordpress for something less code heavy), but if you are doing something with more...

dynamic functionality, I would look at using React for the frontend, and a Node + Express + Apollo Graphql server on the backend. That's what I'm doing for another project.

Thank you for responding. It has to be a dynamic web app where they answer questions. Hoping to have a button to call or text a healthcare provider if there is an emergency.

If you’re not a developer I’d highly suggest going with a more non technical platform like Wordpress, square space, or web flow. Hard to say without knowing the situation and exact features you need though.

No, I am not a developer. I am helping with finance and operations. Again it is not a website but a web app like this bc.thrive.health/covid19/en
