This is a Next.js project bootstrapped with create-next-app.

Getting Started

1. Configure Firebase

The app uses Firebase Auth + Firestore + Realtime Database. Without config, the app still renders but sign-in is disabled.

Copy the template and fill it in:

cp .env.example .env.local

Get the values from the Firebase console: Project settings -> General -> Your apps -> Web app -> SDK setup and configuration -> Config. Create a web app first if you don't have one.

Then enable, in the console:

• Authentication -> Sign-in method: Email/Password and Google
• Firestore Database: create a database
• Realtime Database: create a database (this gives you databaseURL)

.env.local is gitignored. Restart the dev server after editing it — Next.js inlines NEXT_PUBLIC_* at build time and won't pick up changes otherwise.

2. Run the dev server

npm run dev
# or
yarn dev
# or
pnpm dev
# or
bun dev

Open http://localhost:3000 with your browser to see the result.

You can start editing the page by modifying app/page.tsx. The page auto-updates as you edit the file.

This project uses next/font to automatically optimize and load Geist, a new font family for Vercel.
