Reeverb

Open-source testimonial platform built with Rust. Collect, manage, and display social proof on your website.

Self-hosted alternative to Senja, Testimonial.to, and Famewall.

Status

Early development. The foundation is in place — auth, projects, testimonials, tags, and a basic dashboard. See the roadmap for what's coming next.

Stack

Layer	Technology
Backend	Rapina (Rust web framework)
Frontend	Leptos (Rust/WASM, CSR)
Database	PostgreSQL via SeaORM
Auth	JWT (email/password)
Deploy	Docker, Railway

What works today

• User registration and login (JWT)
• Projects CRUD
• Testimonials CRUD (text, with nested project routes)
• Tags and testimonial tagging
• Dashboard with project management
• Single binary serves both the API and the WASM dashboard
• Railway deployment with auto-deploy on push to main
• OpenAPI spec generation
• CI pipeline (check, fmt, clippy, test, API checks)

Quick Start

Prerequisites

• Rust 1.88+
• PostgreSQL 16+
• Trunk (for building the dashboard frontend)

Development

git clone https://github.com/zaptech-dev/reeverb.git
cd reeverb
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your database credentials
cargo run

The API starts at http://localhost:3000. For frontend development, run trunk serve in crates/dashboard/ (serves on :8080, proxies API calls to :3000).

Docker

docker compose up -d

API

All endpoints are documented via OpenAPI. Once running, visit /__rapina/openapi.json for the full spec.
