• Manage related contacts for each application
• Log communication history for every application

Tech Stack

• Frontend: React, TypeScript, Vite, Mantine, React Router, Tailwind CSS
• Backend: Node.js, Express, TypeScript, Zod
• Database: PostgreSQL, Prisma
• Tooling: npm workspaces, Vitest, Testing Library, Docker Compose

Installation

Prerequisites

• Node.js
• npm
• PostgreSQL
• Docker (optional, if you want to run PostgreSQL locally via Docker Compose)

Setup

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/Dudeldups/application-tracker.git
cd application-tracker

2. Install dependencies:

npm install

3. Configure the environment variables (see .env.example)

4. Start PostgreSQL.

If you want to use the Dockerized local database, run:

npm run db:up

If you already have PostgreSQL running elsewhere, skip this step and make sure DATABASE_URL points to that database.

5. Run the Prisma migration:

npm run db:migrate

6. Start the development servers:

npm run dev

The frontend runs from apps/web and the API runs from apps/api.
