Website

The following are technical notes for the website development.

Summary

• It's a Next.js application
• Deployed and hosted via my Vercel dashboard
• Bag and payment handling via Stripe dashboard

Getting Started

yarn i
yarn dev

Dev runs at http://localhost:3000

Environment variables

Copy .env.example to a file called .env.local and populate the values where necessary.

These same variables will have to be defined in each environment where the app runs. For prod we store these in Vercel.

Managing Ideas

Follow the existing examples

1. [OPTIONAL] Add to Stripe > Products
2. Add the [same] title and image to the ideas data in data
3. Fill out the other attributes of the idea
4. [OPTIONAL] Copy price data from Stripe to the dev and prod files (Stripe's "test mode" is for dev)

Dev, Test Mode and Prod

When developing a new idea, we can add work in progress to the dev file and safely merge this and deploy it. We only release the idea to production when we add it to the prod file.
