Name My Robot

Inspired by namemydaughter.com, Team 1759 is reaching out to the internet to generate ideas for the name of our robot.

Getting Started

To run the local server, you'll need to set some environment variables.

• DB_DSN - The destination of the database. For SQLite in development mode, this'll probably be a path to the database on your filesystem. Example: /tmp/my.db. If it doesn't already exist, it'll be created when ran. In production, this should be a Postgres URL. Example: postgres://username:password@host:port/db

After you have that set, install dependencies.

$ go get

And run the server:

$ go run server.go
