SignalFeed

Real-time signals for everything you care about - a community-driven signal aggregation platform for real-world happenings

Stack

• Next.js (App Router) + TypeScript
• Tailwind CSS for styling
• Clean architecture: domain, application, ports, adapters

Structure

• src/domain: entities and invariants
• src/application: use cases
• src/ports: provider interfaces
• src/contracts: runtime validation schemas
• docs: vision, MVP, architecture, SDLC

Getting started

npm install
npm run dev

Dev stack

npm run dev:stack

This starts Postgres via Docker Compose, applies db/schema.sql, and boots Next.js with Postgres enabled.
If port 5432 is already in use, stop the other Postgres instance before running this.

Docker dev stack

npm run dev:compose

This runs both Postgres and the Next.js dev server inside Docker.
To stop it:

npm run dev:compose:down

To reset (removes the Postgres volume):

npm run dev:compose:reset

Scripts

• npm run dev: start dev server
• npm run build: production build
• npm run start: start production server
• npm run lint: run ESLint
• npm run test: run unit tests
• npm run typecheck: run TypeScript checks
• npm run dev:stack: start Postgres via Docker Compose and run the dev server
• npm run dev:compose: start Postgres + Next.js dev server via Docker Compose
• npm run dev:compose:down: stop Docker Compose dev stack
• npm run dev:compose:reset: stop and remove Docker Compose dev stack volumes
• npm run db:up: start Postgres only
• npm run db:down: stop Postgres
• npm run db:reset: stop Postgres and remove volumes

Environment

• NEXT_PUBLIC_MAP_STYLE_URL: MapLibre style URL (defaults to /map-style.json).
• SIGNALFEED_DATA_STORE: file (default in dev), memory, or postgres.
• SIGNALFEED_DATA_DIR: directory for local JSON storage (defaults to .local).
  • Delete the folder to reset local data.
• SIGNALFEED_DATABASE_URL: Postgres connection string (used when SIGNALFEED_DATA_STORE=postgres).

API

• GET /api/sightings: list sightings
• POST /api/sightings: create sighting
• GET /api/sightings/:id: fetch sighting
• GET /api/geofences: list geofences
• POST /api/geofences: create geofence
• GET /api/geofences/:id: fetch geofence
• GET /api/subscriptions: list subscriptions
• POST /api/subscriptions: create subscription

E2E tests

npm run e2e

Playwright will prompt to install browsers on first run.
