Portfolio and blog: Next.js frontend with Payload CMS for content. Monorepo managed with Turborepo and pnpm.

Stack

• apps/web — Next.js 16 public site (portfolio, blog, streaks, favorites)
• apps/cms — Next.js 15 + Payload CMS (admin and API)
• packages/tsconfig — Shared TypeScript configs
• packages/ui — Shared UI (placeholder)
• packages/cms-plugin — Payload plugin for technical blog

Getting started

1. Clone and install:

   pnpm install

2. Set up environment variables. Copy the example and fill in values:

   cp .env.example .env.local

   For local development you can run only the web app (with fallback behavior when CMS is not running) or run both. See below.

3. Run the dev servers:

   pnpm dev

   This starts both apps (web on port 3000, CMS on 3001). To run only web or only CMS:

   pnpm dev:web   # web only (port 3000)
   pnpm dev:cms   # CMS only (port 3001)
