Tech

Woca uses a number of open source projects to work properly:

• ReactJS - JavaScript library for building user interfaces!
• node.js - evented I/O for the backend
• Express - fast node.js network app framework [@tjholowaychuk]
• mongoose - elegant mongodb object modeling for node.js
• MongoDB - document database with the scalability and flexibility
• styled-components - CSS-in-JS library
• react-helmet - A document head manager for React

And of course woca itself is open source with a public repository on GitHub.
