CM50 — Cooperatives & Mutuals Leadership Circle

A mobile-first, fully responsive event & collaboration app for CM50, the leadership circle of the world's top cooperatives and mutuals. Built with Dioxus 0.7 (web).

This is a front-end-only mock-up: all data lives locally in the frontend (src/data/mock_data.rs) and the "AI" is deterministic and local (src/services/ai_mock.rs). The architecture is backend-ready — models are plain data and a thin service layer (src/services/) isolates persistence and AI so they can be swapped for real backend calls later.

Installation

✅ Quick Start (No Build Required)

Download the pre-built release and run in one command:

curl -sL https://forge.ourworld.tf/coopcloud_code/cm50_app/raw/main/scripts/install.sh | bash

Automatically:

1. ✅ Downloads the latest release from Forgejo
2. ✅ Extracts the app
3. ✅ Starts HTTP server on port 8000
4. ✅ Opens in browser

Requirements: Python 3 (plus curl/wget and tar)

Build From Source

No Rust toolchain needed for the quick start above. To build locally instead:

bash scripts/install_local.sh

Checks for Rust, Cargo, and the Dioxus CLI, builds the production app, then serves it on port 8000.

Requirements: Rust, Cargo, Python 3

For Developers

make setup     # Install Rust + Dioxus (one-time)
make run       # Dev server with hot-reload
make build     # Production build
make release   # Build, package, and upload to Forgejo

Sharing Pre-Built Releases

For releasing to other developers:

export FORGE_TOKEN='your-token'
make release   # Builds, creates archive, uploads to Forgejo

Note: The pre-built release is published on the Forgejo server, so the curl … | bash quick start works without a local Rust toolchain. If the release asset is ever missing, install.sh falls back to guiding users through a local build.

See INSTALL.md for troubleshooting.

Open the printed http://127.0.0.1:<port>, then click Enter the Circle (or Continue as the demo organiser). Demo user: Alex Moreau (Super-Admin).

Building for Distribution

Single-Folder Distribution (Recommended)

make dist      # Create portable web folder

Output: cm50_ui/target/dx/cm50_ui/release/web/

Share with users:

# Users receive the folder and run:
python3 -m http.server 8000
open http://localhost:8000

Upload to Forge release:

make upload    # Pack & upload web folder to latest Forge release

See BUILD_SINGLE_FILE.md and PORTABLE_BUILD.md for details.
