Project: MarketLens

AI Product Manager intelligence platform for B2B SaaS companies. MarketLens watches the web for competitor moves, pricing changes, job signals, and compliance alerts, and surfaces structured insights with optional Jira/Linear integration.

Features

• Competitor Radar — Monitor competitor pricing, job postings, changelogs, and reviews
• Compliance Radar — Track regulatory circulars (e.g. BSE/NSE) for fintech and regulated verticals
• Dashboard — Overview, Status, Information, and Insights views
• Auth — Sign up, login, JWT (access + refresh), company-scoped multi-tenancy

Prerequisites

• Node.js 18+
• MongoDB (local or MongoDB Atlas)
• Optional: Redis (for future rate limiting / caching)

Setup

1. Clone and install

   git clone <repo-url>
   cd MarketLens
   npm install

2. Environment variables

   Copy the example env and fill in values:

   cp .env.example .env

   Edit .env:

   Variable	Required	Description
   MONGODB_URI	Yes	MongoDB connection string; include DB name, e.g. mongodb+srv://user:pass@cluster.mongodb.net/marketlens
   JWT_ACCESS_SECRET	Yes (production)	Min 32 characters; used to sign access tokens
   JWT_REFRESH_SECRET	Yes (production)	Min 32 characters; used to sign refresh tokens
   TINYFISH_API_KEY	For scans	API key for TinyFish (Competitor Radar / Compliance scans)
   REDIS_URL	Optional	e.g. redis://localhost:6379
   JWT_ACCESS_EXPIRES_IN	Optional	Default 15m
   JWT_REFRESH_EXPIRES_IN	Optional	Default 7d

   Generate JWT secrets locally:

   openssl rand -hex 32

   Run twice and set as JWT_ACCESS_SECRET and JWT_REFRESH_SECRET.

3. Run locally

   npm run dev

   Open http://localhost:3000. Sign up to create a company and user, then use the dashboard.

Scripts

Command	Description
npm run dev	Start Next.js dev server
npm run build	Production build
npm run start	Start production server
npm run lint	Run ESLint

Tech stack

• Next.js 15 (App Router), React 19, TypeScript
• MongoDB + Mongoose for persistence
• Zod for validation; Zustand for client auth state
• JWT (httpOnly cookies) for auth; bcrypt for passwords
• Tailwind CSS, Framer Motion, Chart.js

Deployment (e.g. Vercel)

• Set all env vars in the host dashboard (especially MONGODB_URI with the database name in the path).
• For MongoDB Atlas, use Network Access → Allow access from anywhere (0.0.0.0/0) so serverless can connect; protect the DB with a strong password and keep MONGODB_URI server-side only.
