Override with `PORT=xxxx npm run dev`. - To enable live Meetup events, blog posts, or gallery images, create a `.env` file in the project root with `MEETUP_API_KEY`, `CLOUDINARY_CLOUD_NAME`, `CLOUDINARY_API_KEY`, and `CLOUDINARY_API_SECRET`. Without it, those sections gracefully fall back to sample content. - To enable contact form persistence, also set `DATABASE_URL` (a Postgres/Neon connection string) and run `npm run db:push`. For production: ```bash npm run build # builds the frontend (dist/public) and bundles the server (dist/index.js) npm start # runs the production server ``` --- ## Project Structure ``` wtdkenya- …
