Very relAIble open source alternative for TechCrunch.

• Appwrite
• SvelteKit
• Sass

1. Setup Appwrite server
2. Create project techCrunchs
3. Install Appwrite CLI
4. Login with appwrite login
5. Enter cd appwrite
6. Deploy initial setup and seeds sh seed.sh
7. Set variables on deployed functions. There is appwrite/functions folder for each function. They all have README.md describing what variables they need
8. Setup GitHub OAuth provider

1. Install libraries npm install
2. Update endpoint in src/lib/AppwriteService.ts (Appwrite endpoint from server setup)
3. Start server npm run dev

1. Deploy frontend and backend on the same domain. For example, techscrunch.dev and appwrite.techscrunch.dev
2. Add frontend hostname as a platform in the Appwrite project

All moderation can be done in Appwrite Console.

To contribute to styles, update SCSS files in src/lib/styles. For state management, we use Svelte stores in src/lib/stores, and all Appwrite communication is kept in src/lib/AppwriteService.ts. To prevent code duplication, we make components out of reusable blocks in src/lib/components.

When contributing to backend-related logic, sync up appwrite/appwrite.json by running the appwrite init commands in the appwrite folder. Also, make sure to keep appwrite/seeds.json up to date with seeding logic for collections and buckets.

Everything you need to build a Svelte project, powered by create-svelte.

If you're seeing this, you've probably already done this step. Congrats!

# create a new project in the current directory
npm create svelte@latest

# create a new project in my-app
npm create svelte@latest my-app

Once you've created a project and installed dependencies with npm install (or pnpm install or yarn), start a development server:

npm run dev

# or start the server and open the app in a new browser tab
npm run dev -- --open

To create a production version of your app:

npm run build

You can preview the production build with npm run preview.

To deploy your app, you may need to install an adapter for your target environment.
