F7 Developer

The official F7 Developer studio website. Built around original games, Android apps, and web projects with a cinematic dark theme and English content.

Live website: f7developer.com. The www address redirects to the main domain.

Run locally

Use Node.js 22.13 or later.

npm ci
npm run dev

Development uses the Next.js port printed in the terminal (normally 3000).

To preview the static production build:

npm run build
npm run preview

Open http://127.0.0.1:4177. Set PORT to change the preview port.

Pages and content

• Home, Games, Products, Studio, Updates, and Contact
• Five individual game pages and eight individual app pages
• Four release-note articles, website privacy, and a custom 404
• Search and category filters, direct category links, keyboard-friendly mobile navigation, and screenshot lightboxes
• F7 Discover with daily third-party games/apps, compound filters, dated archives, F7 Insights, source evidence and artwork acknowledgments

Product data and release notes are in src/lib/data.ts. Official product artwork and screenshots are stored locally in public/images/products. Asset source keys are documented in scripts/asset-sources.json; run node scripts/import-assets.mjs to refresh the official images.

The home and studio background is original AI-generated promotional concept art. It is not presented as a screenshot from any game. All product cards and screenshot galleries use official Google Play assets.

The catalogue was checked against F7 Developer on Google Play on October 10, 2026. The web projects are Game Asset Radar and AI Radar.

F7 Discover

Verified editions live in content/discover/editions; incomplete research stays in content/discover/review.json, outside the frontend. No Google Play API, database or paid backend is used. The daily target is seven games and seven Android apps, with honest partial editions when verification is incomplete.

See operations, source access policy and Cursor automation instructions. Builds validate all content before exporting. Daily owner/Cursor content PRs are checked with trusted code before automatic publication; broader changes cannot use that route.

Contact

The form prepares a mailto: draft. It does not submit, store, or send visitor messages. Visitors review and send the draft in their own email app. Every draft, including press and collaboration, goes to the studio mailbox [email protected]. Direct email links remain available if no email app is configured.

Deployment

The build exports static HTML into out/. Deploy that folder to any static host, or import the repository into Vercel with the Next.js preset. No database or API secrets are required.

Set NEXT_PUBLIC_SITE_URL=https://f7developer.com before building. This is configured in Vercel's production and preview environments and documented in .env.example. It keeps canonical URLs, social previews, robots, and the sitemap on the official domain. If deploying to another host, set the same variable there. Redeploy after changing it because the metadata is generated at build time.

Checks

npm test
npm run typecheck
npm run lint
npm run build
npx playwright install chromium
npm run test:e2e

Browser tests cover desktop and mobile, all main routes, catalogue search and filters, navigation between filtered and complete catalogues, official store URLs, the screenshot viewer, keyboard navigation, email drafts, missing images, overflow, and WCAG A/AA accessibility through axe. Product catalogues are also checked with JavaScript disabled. Screenshots are saved in the ignored artifacts/ directory.

Set PLAYWRIGHT_BASE_URL to a deployment's public URL to run the same browser checks against the deployed website without starting a local preview server.
