This is a project to manage a flask app and database with mongodb and heroku.
What if there were a publicly accessible rating and reviews system for the court system? In this project, we attempt to support on-going projects that observe court proceedings in Cook County, IL. The goal of court watching is to provide policy makers with actionable data about judges and support wider initiative for transparency in the courts. From a human computer interaction (HCI) perspective, our goal is to enable users to interact with court observation data.
Enable court watchers to interact with the data that they collected and allow policymakers to make informed decisions about judges. Accomplish this goal by creating a prototype application that allows users to interact with data.
Install all requirements. See requirements.txt or pip install requirements.txt
Configure environment. See utils/databaser.py
