AniHub

AniHub is a better MyAnimeList alternative for tracking anime series and movies you watched and discussing them with other people! AniHub is a fullstack platform built for the anime community, by the anime community.

Tech stack

This is a Next.js app hosted on Vercel and Neon, built with React, TypeScript, Prisma, PostgreSQL, and Tailwind, and the libraries Better Auth, Framer Motion, and React Icons. The app folder contains the frontend page routes and the backend API endpoints. The components folder contains frontend layout and UI components. The prisma folder contains the Prisma schema, and the lib and types folders contain extra stuff for setup. Finally, the public folder contains frontend assets like icons and logos.

Quick start

To host AniHub on your machine for local development or other purposes, simply follow these steps below:

1. Clone the GitHub repository using the command

   git clone https://github.com/tonymac129/anihub.git

2. Open it with your favorite code editor or through the terminal

3. Create the file .env at the root folder and initialize the following variables:

   DATABASE_URL=your_pooled_neon_connection_string
   DIRECT_URL=your_neon_connection_string
   BETTER_AUTH_SECRET=your_better_auth_secret
   BETTER_AUTH_URL=http://localhost:3000
   GITHUB_CLIENT_ID=your_github_id
   GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET=your_github_secret
   

4. If you don't have a local Postgres database or a cloud Neon/Supabase cluster/connection string, only the landing page will be available because of obvious reasons

5. Open the terminal and run the commands

   npm install
   npm run dev

   or if you have Yarn

   yarn install
   yarn dev

   to start the Next.js dev server at localhost:3000 and see the magic!
