stream

stream is a lightweight personal micro-blogging platform I use in favour of services like X, where I tend to get distracted easily.

Development

You'll need docker, cargo and npm installed on your machine to spawn the various components the project needs to run locally.

First, mount a local mongodb instance with docker:

$ docker compose up -d

Spawn the server:

$ cargo run serve

Finally, spawn the react frontend:

$ npm install
$ npm run dev

n.b. Refer to .env.dev.example and client/.env.dev.example for what environment variables need to be set.

Prior Art

This was heavily inspired by Linus Lee's stream.
