Technical requirements

I’ve built the app described in this book and you can use it by visiting the following link: https://tozo.dev. The code is also available at https://github.com/pgjones/tozo (feel free to use that code or the code in this book under the MIT license).

I’m going to assume you have a working knowledge of TypeScript and Python, as these are the languages we’ll use to write the app. However, we’re going to avoid any esoteric language features and I hope the code is easily understandable. I’m also going to assume you are happy using the command line, rather than focusing on GUI instructions, as most tooling is optimized for command-line usage, and this is something that should be advantageous.

To follow the development in this chapter, use the companion repository at https://github.com/pgjones/tozo and see the commits between the r1-ch1-start and r1-ch1-end tags.
