an anoymous (no login required) south african local forum # Kasi Lami Kasi Lami is a lightweight community forum for South African townships (“kasis”) — share **Events**, **Businesses**, **News**, and **Chat**. No login required. ### Live kasi-lami.vercel.app ## Tech Stack - React + TypeScript + Vite - Tailwind CSS + shadcn-ui - Supabase (Postgres + Realtime) - React Query + React Router ## Local Development 1) Install deps - `npm ci` 2) Configure environment variables (do **not** commit these) Create `.env.local` (recommended) with: - `VITE_SUPABASE_URL=...` - `VITE_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY=...` 3) Run dev server - `npm run dev` ## Production (Vercel) Vercel does **not** use your local `.env` file. Add these in **Vercel → Project → Settings → Environment Variables**: - `VITE_SUPABASE_URL` - `VITE_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY` Only the **anon/public** key is allowed in the browser. ## Supabase Database 1) Run `supabase-schema.sql` in Supabase SQL Editor (creates tables, indexes, and public RLS policies). 2) (Recommended) Run `supabase-hardening.sql` to add production constraints (length limits, non-empty checks). ## Useful Scripts - `npm run lint` - `npm run typecheck` - `npm run build` - `npm run ci` (lint + typecheck + build)
