FreeSewing is written in [JavaScript](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript).
|
|
|
|
Our [core library](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@freesewing/core) and [patterns](/patterns) are
|
2021-08-25 16:09:31 +02:00
|
|
|
available both for [NodeJS](https://nodejs.org/) and the browser.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Our websites are built with [Gatsby](https://www.gatsbyjs.com/)/[React](https://reactjs.org/) and
|
|
|
|
kindly hosted by [Netlify](https://www.netlify.com/).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Everything runs in the browser except user data and conversion to PDF. For that, we have
|
|
|
|
built a backend with [Express](https://expressjs.com/) exposing a REST API.

Our code and markdown content is hosted by [Github](https://github.com/freesewing/).

|
|
We use [Crowdin](https://crowdin.com/) for translations,
|
|
|
|
search is handled by [Algolia](https://www.algolia.com/) and [Bugsnag](https://www.bugsnag.com/) does error handling for us.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We are appreciative of these and other projects/companies that allow us to stand on their shoulders.
