UI	shadcn/ui, Tailwind CSS
API	tRPC 11
Database	PostgreSQL + Prisma
Auth	better-auth (Google OAuth)
Email	Resend

Prerequisites

• Bun (or Node.js 20+)
• PostgreSQL 14+
• Google OAuth credentials
• Resend API key (optional in local dev if you skip email flows)

Getting started

git clone https://github.com/fydemy/fdm.git
cd fdm
bun install
cp .env.example .env

Environment variables

Copy .env.example to .env and fill in:

Variable	Purpose
DATABASE_URL	Postgres connection string (app)
DIRECT_URL	Direct Postgres URL (Prisma migrations / push)
BETTER_AUTH_SECRET	Random secret for session signing
BETTER_AUTH_URL	Public app URL (e.g. http://localhost:3000)
GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID	Google OAuth client ID
GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET	Google OAuth client secret
RESEND_API_KEY	Resend API key
RESEND_FROM_EMAIL	From address, e.g. Fydemy <onboarding@resend.dev>
RESEND_CC_EMAIL	Optional CC address on every transactional email
NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL	Supabase project URL
SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY	Supabase service role key (server-only, for uploads)
NEXT_PUBLIC_GA_MEASUREMENT_ID	Google Analytics 4 ID (e.g. G-XXXXXXXXXX). Omit to disable.

Generate a secret:

openssl rand -base64 32

Database and dev server

bunx prisma db push
bunx prisma generate
bun dev

Visit http://localhost:3000, sign in with Google, and open /dashboard.

User roles

Roles are stored on the user table (applicant, founder, reviewer, mentor):

Role	Access
applicant	Default for new users — apply and manage pending applications
founder	Set automatically when an application is approved — launches and materials
reviewer	Review applications, manage materials, feature launches (/dashboard/review)
mentor	View approved applications and edit files in reviewer-labeled mentor folders (/dashboard/mentor)

Assign staff roles directly in the database, e.g. with Prisma Studio:

bunx prisma studio

Google OAuth

In Google Cloud Console, create an OAuth client and add authorized redirect URIs for better-auth, typically:

http://localhost:3000/api/auth/callback/google

Use your production origin in place of localhost when deploying.

Supabase Storage

File uploads (pitch decks, logos, editor images) use Supabase Storage.

1. Create a Supabase project and add NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL + SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY to .env.
2. In Storage, create three buckets:

Bucket	Public	Purpose
logos	Yes	Product logos
images	Yes	WYSIWYG inline images
pitchdecks	No	Application pitch decks (served via /api/pitchdecks/... with auth)

For public buckets (logos, images), enable public access in the bucket settings or add a policy allowing public SELECT.

Objects are stored as {userId}/{filename} within each bucket.
