FrikFrak

FrikFrak is a web-based Yik Yak style app for college frisbee communities. The MVP is anonymous by default, category-based, and built for quick Vercel deployment with Next.js + Supabase.

MVP Features

• Honor-system username/password accounts
• Private usernames with anonymous public posts
• Default General feed
• Admin-created categories
• Unlimited nested comments
• OP, #1, #2, ... thread labels
• Upvotes and downvotes
• Reports and lightweight admin moderation
• Post/comment soft deletion that preserves thread structure
• Hashtag storage and searchable tag pages

Local Setup

1. Install dependencies:

npm install

2. Copy the example environment file:

cp .env.example .env.local

3. Create a Supabase project and add:

• NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL
• NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY
• SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY
• AUTH_SECRET
• optional FIRST_ADMIN_USERNAME

4. Run the SQL files in this order inside Supabase SQL editor:

• supabase/schema.sql
• supabase/seed.sql

5. Start the app:

npm run dev

Open http://localhost:3000.

Admin bootstrap

• If FIRST_ADMIN_USERNAME is set, that username becomes admin on signup.
• Otherwise, the first created account becomes admin automatically.

Deploying to Vercel

• Push the repo to GitHub.
• Create a new Vercel project.
• Add the same environment variables in Vercel.
• Deploy to the temporary *.vercel.app domain first.

Notes

• Usernames are intentionally not public.
• Post deletion removes the post from feeds but keeps the direct-link thread page.
• Comment deletion replaces the body with a deleted placeholder while preserving replies.
