Introduction
We're back. After our four-week sprint that took Luminary from a blank repository to a fully functional community platform built in vanilla HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, we regrouped to migrate the entire project to a modern framework.
Luminary is a community-powered directory and news platform celebrating women who are driving change across all fields — business, science, arts, activism, sport, technology, agriculture, education, and more. It allows anyone to nominate or self-submit, is searchable by name and field, and surfaces daily and weekly news of women making impact globally.
For this two-week sprint, we moved Luminary off the vanilla stack and onto a proper application architecture. I would be writing about the migration in general, my role in it, and the lessons I picked up along the way.
