Both Updately's frontend and backend are built in Next.js. Auth is handled using next-auth with Google OAuth as the only provider, and MongoDB is used for data storage. For full details, check out this blog post.

To get a local version of Updately running:

1. Clone this repo
2. Make a .env file in the project root with the following variables:
   • GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID: client ID from Google OAuth credentials (follow Google//next-auth instructions to set up yourself)
   • GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET: client secret from Google OAuth credentials
   • NEXTAUTH_URL: http://localhost:3000 or whatever your URL is
   • MONGODB_URL: MongoDB URL with specified cluster, password, etc. Set up your own MongoDB cluster for this
3. Run npm run dev to spin up a local server. Have fun!
