HouseCall

Help nearby. Done today.

HouseCall is a hyper-local, same-day help marketplace. People post practical jobs nearby; neighbors respond with a time and a price.

Modes

Live (default when env is set)

Persists profiles, requests, offers, threads, messages, completions, and reviews in Supabase project chimera (lfyqdrjqfpczsfkqjxpq) with email/password auth and row-level security. Ownership/participant checks prevent forging senders, accepting others’ offers, or reviewing jobs you were not part of.

Required env:

NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL=https://lfyqdrjqfpczsfkqjxpq.supabase.co
NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY=<publishable key>

Legacy NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY is accepted as a fallback name for the publishable/anon key. Never expose a service-role key to the browser.

Live backend errors surface in the UI and do not silently fall back to localStorage.

Explicit demo

Set NEXT_PUBLIC_BEAM_DEMO_MODE=1 (or open with ?demo=1) for the original Austin seed stored only in the browser. You → Reset demo restores that seed and never touches other users’ Supabase data.

Stack

• Supabase Auth + Postgres RLS (@supabase/ssr)
• Tailwind CSS v4

Database migration

SQL lives in supabase/migrations/20261105201933_beam_core_schema.sql. Apply with Supabase MCP/CLI against project lfyqdrjqfpczsfkqjxpq (already applied in the live project during integration). Advisors: revoke EXECUTE on RPCs from anon; authenticated may call accept_offer, complete_request, ensure_thread, and submit_review.

Run locally

cp .env.example .env.local   # fill publishable key
npm install
npm run dev

npm run build
npm run start
npm run test:smoke          # route smoke (demo-safe)
npm run test:live           # live auth + persistence + negative authz (needs env)

UI system

Presentable light marketplace UI (Airbnb clarity + Linear type discipline). Public landing is a conventional light SaaS page with full-viewport vertical sections and ordinary document scroll. See docs/flat-ui.md.

What you can do

1. Sign up / sign in (live) or use demo mode.
2. Post a request, browse, send offers, accept, message, complete, review.
3. Reload — live data persists in Supabase; demo data persists in localStorage.
