whosnext 0.1.2

Who is next to release a software?

Who's Next?

A Python-based web application to manage and track software release responsibilities using a round-robin algorithm. Built with FastAPI, SQLite, and raw Javascript.

Features

• Round-Robin Release Determination: Automatically determines who is next to perform a release based on the lowest release count.
• Participant Management: Keep a record of participants (first name & last name).
• Release History: Log every software release with its date, version, and the participant who executed it.
• Modern User Interface: A fast, responsive Single Page Application with dynamic animations and dark-mode glassmorphism styling.

Prerequisites

• uv installed
• Python 3.14 or later

Setup

You don't need to manually create virtual environments. uv handles dependency management automatically.

1. Clone or navigate to the repository:

   cd whosnext
   

2. (Optional) Create a .env file in the project root to override the SQLite database location:

   DB_PATH=/custom/path/whosnext.db
   

   If omitted, whosnext.db will be created automatically in the root folder.

Starting the Program

To run the FastAPI server, use uv run uvicorn from the root of the project:

uv run uvicorn src.main:app --reload

Once started, open your browser and navigate to: http://127.0.0.1:8000

Running the Tests

Unit tests are written using pytest and utilize an in-memory SQLite database. To execute the test suite, run:

uv run pytest
