Welcome to SetApp, an app designed to help beginner developers create their first Minimum Viable Product (MVP). This app provides valuable tips on which frameworks to use, the database schema, color schema, and step-by-step guidance on how to proceed. Powered by OpenAI, SetApp aims to simplify the MVP creation process for aspiring developers.

BlauPrint is an organization consisting of four talented developers who are passionate about helping beginners kickstart their development journey. Our team has created separate repositories for the client-side (https://github.com/blauprint/setapp-client) and server-side (https://github.com/blauprint/setapp-server) components of the app.

• Step-by-step guidance for creating your first MVP
• Framework recommendations for different aspects of your project
• Database schema suggestions
• Color schema suggestions for a visually appealing interface
• Seamless integration with OpenAI for enhanced functionality

6. Access the app by opening your browser and visiting the provided PORT (e.g., http://localhost:3000).

1. Clone the server-side repository from GitHub.
2. Open a terminal and navigate to the cloned directory.
3. Install the necessary dependencies by running the following command:

npm install

4. Create a new file named env.local in the root directory and populate it with the required environment variables listed in the sample.env.local file.
