Still Reading
A mobile-first, installable PWA for 30-day social reading challenges.
Set a goal → join a challenge → read → check in → see friends → read again tomorrow.
No accounts. Local-first (IndexedDB) with background sync to Postgres. Works offline.
Quick start (no database setup needed)
npm install
npm run db:seed # optional: "October Reading Challenge" demo with 6 readers on day 12
npm run dev # http://localhost:3000
Without DATABASE_URL, the server uses an embedded Postgres (PGlite) stored in .data/pglite.
After seeding, open http://localhost:3000/join/DemoOctober30 to join the demo as a 7th reader.
(Stop npm run dev before running db:seed — PGlite allows one process at a time.)

Deploying to Vercel
- Import the repo in Vercel.
- Storage → Marketplace → Neon → connect to the project. This sets
DATABASE_URL
(and gives every preview deployment its own database branch).
- Deploy. The
vercel-build script runs migrations and then next build.
Environment variables: DATABASE_URL only. No auth provider and no Blob token are needed in the MVP.
