# aitherboard Setup Guide

## Prerequisites

- Node.js 20+
- npm or yarn
- Docker (for deployment)

## Development Setup

```bash
npm install
```

2. Create `.env` file (optional, uses defaults if not provided):
```bash
cp .env.example .env
```

3. Start development server:
```bash
npm run dev

```

## Docker Deployment

```

2. Or build manually:

docker run -p 9876:9876 aitherboard
```

## Project Structure

- `src/lib/services/` - Core services (Nostr, auth, cache, security)
- `src/lib/modules/` - Feature modules (threads, comments, zaps, etc.)
- `src/lib/components/` - Reusable UI components
- `src/routes/` - SvelteKit routes

## Notes

- This is a work in progress. Many features are placeholders and need full implementation.
- NIP-49 encryption, event signing, and bech32 encoding need proper cryptographic libraries.
- Full implementation of all modules (comments, zaps, reactions, profiles, feed) is ongoing.
