worker/src/## π¦ Installation
βββ routes/ # API endpoints (auth, presentations, slides, websocket)
βββ services/ # Business logic (user, presentation, slide, storage, analytics)### Prerequisites
βββ middleware/ # Auth & CORS
βββ durable-objects/ # WebSocket handler- Node.js 18+ installed
βββ types/ # TypeScript definitions- Cloudflare account (free tier works!)
βββ utils/ # Helpers (auth, file, response)- Wrangler CLI installed: `npm install -g wrangler`
βββ index.ts # Main app
```### Setup Steps
## π Quick Start1. **Clone and install dependencies**
```bash
```bash cd touchslides
# Install dependencies npm install
npm install ```
cd worker && npm install
2. **Configure Cloudflare**
# Terminal 1 - Frontend ```bash
npm run dev # β http://localhost:3000 # Login to Cloudflare
wrangler login
# Terminal 2 - Backend
npm run worker:dev # β http://localhost:8787 # Create KV namespaces
wrangler kv:namespace create SESSIONS
# Test wrangler kv:namespace create USERS
curl http://localhost:8787/
# Should return: {"name":"TouchSlides API","version":"1.0.0","status":"ok",...} # Create R2 bucket
``` wrangler r2 bucket create touchslides-presentations
- Update wrangler.toml
Before deploying, enable R2 storage in Cloudflare Dashboard:
Replace the placeholder IDs in wrangler.toml with your actual KV namespace IDs from step 2.
-
Visit https://dash.cloudflare.com/ β R2
-
Click "Enable R2"4. Set environment variables
-
Create buckets:
```bash Create
.env.local:npx wrangler r2 bucket create touchslides-presentations ```bash
npx wrangler r2 bucket create touchslides-thumbnails WORKER_URL=http://localhost:8787
Note: R2 is simulated locally, so development works without this!
- Run in development
Open two terminal windows:
-
POST /api/auth/signup- Create account Terminal 1 - Cloudflare Worker: -
POST /api/auth/login- Login (returns JWT) ```bash -
GET /api/auth/me- Get current user npm run worker:dev -
POST /api/auth/logout- Logout ```
-
GET /api/presentations- List user's presentations ```bash -
POST /api/presentations- Create new npm run dev -
GET /api/presentations/:id- Get with slides ``` -

- JWT with jose library
- bcrypt password hashing## π― How to Use
- Password requirements: 8+ chars, uppercase, lowercase, number, special
- CORS protection### For Presenters
- Prepared statements (SQL injection prevention)
- File type validation1. **Sign up** for a free account
2. **Upload** your presentation (PDF, PPTX, or images)
## π¦ Tech Stack3. **Add notes** to each slide for reference
4. **Get your PIN** - a secure 6-digit code is generated
**Frontend:** Next.js 14, React 18, Tailwind CSS 3, Framer Motion, Lucide React5. **Present** - Open the presentation, show the QR code
6. **Control** from your phone by scanning the QR code
**Backend:** Cloudflare Workers, Hono 4.6, TypeScript 5.6, Zod, D1, R2, KV, Durable Objects
### For Viewers
## π Deployment
1. Visit the website
### Frontend (Vercel)2. Enter the **PIN** provided by the presenter
```bash3. Use your phone as a **remote control**
git push origin main4. See **speaker notes** and **upcoming slides**
# Deploy on Vercel (auto-detects Next.js)
```## π¨ Design Philosophy
### Backend (Cloudflare)TouchSlides features a modern, premium design with:
```bash
# 1. Enable R2 (see above)- **Dark gradients** for a sophisticated look
# 2. Update worker/wrangler.toml:- **Rounded corners** (2xl, 3xl) for a friendly feel
# - JWT_SECRET: strong random value- **Glass morphism** effects for depth
# - ALLOWED_ORIGINS: your domain- **Subtle shadows** for elevation
# 3. Deploy- **Smooth animations** with Framer Motion
npm run worker:deploy- **Primary blue** accent color with gradient variations
```- **Modular containers** for organized content

-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN"Update the KV namespace IDs after creating them:
[[kv_namespaces]]
## π Known Issuesbinding = "SESSIONS"
id = "your-kv-namespace-id"
1. **R2 requires manual activation** - See section above
2. **Wrangler outdated warning** - Optional upgrade to v4[[kv_namespaces]]
3. **Some TypeScript errors** - Expected for Workers runtime globalsbinding = "USERS"
id = "your-users-namespace-id"
