Qyou Hackathon Starter

Qyou is being rebuilt from scratch as an open source hackathon starter focused on fast iteration, clean contributor onboarding, and a clear MVP path.

This repository now provides a minimal monorepo baseline with:

• apps/api - Express API starter
• apps/web - Next.js web app starter
• apps/mobile - Expo mobile app starter
• apps/stellar-service - Stellar integration service starter
• packages/config - shared environment/config helpers
• packages/types - shared domain and integration types

Principles

• Treat previous queue-platform code as legacy and out of scope
• Rebuild the MVP from the authentication layer outward
• Keep the repo lightweight, understandable, and contributor-friendly
• Separate public code from local planning and GitHub operations artifacts

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Node.js 20+
• npm 10+

Install

npm install

Run the starter apps

npm run dev:api
npm run dev:web
npm run dev:mobile
npm run dev:stellar-service

Useful commands

npm run build
npm run typecheck
npm run lint

Environment

Copy .env.example files from the workspaces you want to run:

• apps/api/.env.example
• apps/web/.env.example
• apps/mobile/.env.example
• apps/stellar-service/.env.example

MVP Roadmap

The rebuild starts with authentication as the first milestone, then expands through the MVP in deliberate slices:

1. Authentication and session foundation
2. User and profile basics
3. Queue/location discovery baseline
4. Reporting and verification flows
5. Stellar-backed rewards and payouts
6. Admin, observability, QA, and launch polish

Contributing

This repo is intended for public contributors and hackathon teams:

• keep pull requests focused
• prefer incremental, testable changes
• document tradeoffs briefly in PR descriptions
• coordinate larger architecture changes through issues first

Local issue manifests and GitHub publishing helpers are intentionally gitignored so repo-ops work does not pollute the starter codebase.
