Rucka: Kit List and Trip Recording App

I have worked on Rucka since December 2019. It originally began as a Web app to help me keep track of my camping and hiking equipment and to assist in trip planning but has steadily increased in functionality to include trip recording and photo uploads.

Rucka's front-end is built with:

Buefy - UI component library
Bulma - styling
Vue.js
Vuex - state management
XState - state machines

Its back-end uses:

Bookshelf - ORM
Cloudinary - image hosting
Knex.js - DB migrations
Micro - API and Web server
Node.js
PostgreSQL

And for bundling, and unit & end-to-end testing:

Cypress
Jest
Rollup - module bundler
SuperTest - API mocking
Vue Test Utils

The Web app currently only supports a single user: me. But I hope one day to add multi-user capabilities so that others can publicly share their kit lists and trips in the outdoors. Rucka's development is still ongoing and I revisit it periodically to update dependencies and add new features.
