Aitherboard Setup Guide

Prerequisites

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

Development Setup

npm install

2. Create .env file (optional, uses defaults if not provided):

cp .env.example .env

3. Start development server:

npm run dev

4. Open http://localhost:5173

Building

npm run build

Docker Deployment

1. Build and run with docker-compose:

docker-compose up --build

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.
