NoRent.org

NoRent.org (found at https://www.norent.org) is a web tool that helps tenants notify their landlords of an inability to pay rent during the COVID-19 crisis. Currently for tenants in Los Angeles, it is build in collaboration with the organization SAJE.

This codebase is for the NoRent.org "Landing Portal" that directs users to the appropriate web app build with Community Lawyer. Site content is stored in Contentful, and the site is built using Gatsby.

We used the Gatsby Bulma Quickstart template as a starting point for building out this tool.

Quick start

1. Create an .env file by copying .env.sample:

   cp .env.sample .env
   

2. Edit the .env file as needed.

3. Install dependencies:

   yarn --frozen-lockfile
   

4. Run the development server:

   yarn develop
   

5. Open the source code and start editing!

   Your site is now running at http://localhost:8000!

   Note: You'll also see a second link: http://localhost:8000___graphql. This is a tool you can use to experiment with querying your data. Learn more about using this tool in the Gatsby tutorial.

   Open the the norent directory in your code editor of choice and edit src/pages/index.js. Save your changes and the browser will update in real time!

Deployment

We deploy our version of the site using Netlify, which links directly to this repo and deploys on commits to the master branch. To use Netlify in deploying your own version, follow this step-by-step guide.
