UniPirate
A free web app for international students planning applications to German public universities. Eligibility is evaluated by rules, with source citations and explicit unknowns when coverage is missing.
Implemented
- Anonymous, branching eligibility checker for national, GCE and IB qualifications; shareable results and secure ownership claims.
- Email/password and magic-link authentication, saved profiles and profile re-evaluation.
- Course finder, pasted-page import, deterministic DAAD parsing and an optional AI extraction fallback.
- Application tracker, manual tasks, admin-defined course tasks, Now/Next/Later buckets and calendar.
- Admin review queues, rule editing, course-task management and audit history.
- Assistant sidebar, retrieval tools, citation markers and daily quotas. Working OpenRouter credentials and embeddings are required.
Rule coverage is incomplete. Country choices include India, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia; this does not imply every qualification or outcome is verified. Email reminders, rule-change notifications, a standalone grade converter and an APS wizard are not implemented.
See current verification and blockers, architecture and implementation backlog.
Local setup
- Install dependencies with
pnpm install.
- Copy
.env.example to .env.local and configure Supabase. OpenRouter is required for AI features; Tavily enables web search and PostHog is optional.
- Enable Supabase Email authentication. Configure confirmation templates to use
/auth/confirm?token_hash={{ .TokenHash }}&type=signup or type=email, and allow the local app URL in redirect settings. Google OAuth needs provider configuration.
- Run
pnpm dev and open the URL printed by Next.js (normally http://localhost:3000).
- Run
pnpm test, pnpm lint, pnpm typecheck and pnpm build.

Apply new migrations using pnpm supabase db push against the linked project; never reset the linked database. Supabase sends authentication emails; there is no application email-reminder command.
