Introduction

We're trying to build the best interviewee/job searcher tool out there, powered by great design and open-source.

Appli allows users to easily save their job applications to prevent them from getting lost in the shuffle. Users can track their progress, set reminders, and get hired faster.

What we are using

Lets goooo - Next.js 14, Turborepo, Drizzle ORM, Planetscale, Kinde, Resend, React Email, Shadcn/ui, and Stripe.
All seamlessly integrated with the Appli to accelerate the development.

Directory Structure

Appli is a monorepo managed by Turborepo. The monorepo is split between apps and packages directories.

.
├── apps                         # Its app workspace which contains
│    ├── next.js                 # Nextjs app which is deployed in Vercel
│    └── extension
├── packages                     # are the shared packages that are used by the apps (e.g. `@appli/api`)
├── tooling                      # are the shared configuration that are used by the apps and packages (e.g. `@appli/eslint-config`)
├── LICENSE
└── README.md

Use short lowercase names at least for the top-level files and folders except LICENSE, README.md

Installation

Clone & create this repo locally with the following command:

git clone https://github.com/alex-streza/appli
  1. Install dependencies using pnpm:
pnpm install
  1. Copy .env.example to .env.local and update the variables.
cp .env.example .env.local
  1. Input everything you need for the env.

    1. Create Kinde Account
    2. Create Supabase Account
    3. Create Stripe Account and download Stripe CLI
  2. Start the development server from either yarn or turbo:

# At the root of the mono repo
pnpm run dev:web

Stripe

To set up Stripe locally with environment variables:

  1. Create a Stripe account.
  2. After signing in, go to the dashboard and switch to Test mode.
  3. In the dashboard, switch to the API keys section.
  4. Reveal your secret key and paste it into your .env.local file.
  5. For the webhook key, switch to the Webhooks tab, add an endpoint to reveal the secret key.
  6. To get the PRODUCT_ID and PRICE_ID, head over to Stripe's API Docs.
  7. From the docs, use the API with your STRIPE_API_KEY to create a product & price object.
  8. The response object from the API contains two keys: id and product.
  9. Use the id as your PRICE_ID and product as your PRODUCT_ID.
  10. You can use the same keys for the STD and PRO variables.

Database

This project uses Postgres database on Supabase. To setup a DB for your local dev:

  1. Create a free account and a new Database
  2. From the dashboard, create a new project.
  3. From Home select Drizzle in Connect / ORMs dropdown
  4. Copy the entire list of params to .env.local file. Make sure to change the params under the section "Database (Postgres - Supabase)"
  5. run pnpm run db:push

You can also use docker-compose to have a Postgres database locally, instead of relying on Supabase:

  1. Enter DATABASE_URL value in .env.local.
  2. run docker-compose --env-file .env.local up to start the DB.
  3. run pnpm run db:push.
