Gorbit

Gorbit is a modern social media platform built for speed and simplicity. It features real-time messaging, community forums, media sharing, and a "Glance" story feature.

Architecture

The project is structured as a monorepo:

• frontend: React + Vite with Material Design 3 styling.
• supabase: Local development configuration and database migrations.
• backend: Legacy Express/Prisma server (currently being migrated to Supabase).

Local Development

Prerequisites

• Node.js (v18 or higher)
• Docker (required for local Supabase)
• Supabase CLI

Setup Instructions

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/Hotaro26/gorbit.git
   cd gorbit

2. Start the local backend:

   cd supabase
   supabase start

   This will pull Docker images and start the database, auth, and storage services. Note the API keys provided in the output.

3. Configure the frontend:

   • Navigate to the frontend directory.
   • Create a .env.local file.
   • Add your Supabase credentials:

     VITE_SUPABASE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:54321
     VITE_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY=your_anon_key

4. Run the frontend:

   npm install
   npm run dev

   The app will be available at http://localhost:5173.
