What's been built

This is the source code that runs the DevRel(ish) community site.

devrelish/ — complete Astro 6 SSR project

Database (db/)

• config.ts — all app tables (Groups, Meetups, RSVPs) + better-auth tables (User, Session, Account, Verification) in one place
• seed.ts — 2 approved groups (SF + NYC), 1 pending (Austin), 3 gatherings

Auth (src/lib/)

• auth.ts — better-auth with drizzle adapter, admin plugin, email/password
• auth-client.ts — browser client for React components
• middleware.ts — injects user/session into Astro.locals on every request

Pages

Route	Purpose
/	Hero + why section + featured groups
/groups	All approved groups grid
/groups/[slug]	Group page with upcoming gatherings
/groups/register	Public group application form
/gatherings/[id]/rsvp	RSVP form (no auth required)
/auth/login	Email/password sign-in
/dashboard/*	Group manager views (group edit, gathering management, attendees)
/admin/*	Admin queue to approve/reject applications

Design

• Warm, whimsical palette (terracotta, sunny yellow, fresh green)
• Fredoka One display font + Nunito body font
• Full responsive CSS with custom properties — no CSS framework

To get started locally

# Generate a real secret
openssl rand -base64 32  # paste into .env as BETTER_AUTH_SECRET

npm run dev
# Visit http://localhost:4321

To create your first admin user you'll need to call the better-auth API to sign up and then manually set role = "admin" in the database, or add it to the seed file.

Email	Password	Role
admin@devrelish.tech	admin-devrelish	Admin
alex@example.com	alex-devrelish	Group manager (SF)
sam@example.com	sam-devrelish	Group manager (NYC)

Deploy

One-time setup (do these before the first deploy):

1. Create a Turso database

   turso db create devrelish
   turso db show devrelish --url      # → ASTRO_DB_REMOTE_URL
   turso db tokens create devrelish   # → ASTRO_DB_APP_TOKEN

2. Set Netlify environment variables (Site settings → Environment variables):

   • BETTER_AUTH_SECRET — openssl rand -base64 32
   • BETTER_AUTH_URL — your Netlify URL (e.g. https://<your-site>.netlify.app)
   • ASTRO_DB_REMOTE_URL — from Turso above
   • ASTRO_DB_APP_TOKEN — from Turso above
   • SETUP_TOKEN — openssl rand -base64 24 (temporary, for admin setup)

3. Push the schema to Turso (run locally once with the env vars set):

   npm run db:push

4. Deploy to Netlify — the build command (astro db push --remote && astro build) will keep the schema in sync on every future deploy automatically.

5. Create your admin account — visit https://your-site.netlify.app/setup, paste the SETUP_TOKEN, fill in your name/email/password.

6. Remove SETUP_TOKEN from Netlify environment variables — this permanently disables the /setup page (it shows "Already configured" anyway once an admin exists, but removing the token is belt-and-suspenders).
