Project Structure (For Contributors)

Note: The Backend and Frontend folders cannot be run together. Instead, the frontend is a seperate Next.js server for serving the UI and the backend is a NodeJS server holding a file-stored "database" and API routes such as posting, reading a post, creating an account, etc.

How to Run/Host

G uses TypeScript for development convenience. If you are thinking of modifying G, modify the TypeScript code first. Once you are finished, run the commands below (in order).

npm install --production
npm run build
npm start

Or if you want your code to preview and update live, run the commands below (again, in order).

npm install
npm run dev
