Stork

Private family board for baby first and middle name ideas: suggest names, vote, and keep origin / meaning / pronunciation in English, Russian, and Hebrew.

Homelab deploy lives in the ansible repo (make deploy-stork). This repo is the app only — no LAN IPs or production secrets here.

Quick start (local)

cp .env.example .env   # set STORK_INVITE_TOKEN (and optional STORK_ADMIN_TOKEN)
make install
make test
make run

Open http://127.0.0.1:8094 — enter the invite code and your display name. Share http://127.0.0.1:8094/?invite=YOUR_TOKEN with family for one-tap entry.
