Project Premise

m4v serves as a community-curated compendium of liberated software substitutes for proprietary tools and commercial applications.

Our primary objective is to become the definitive resource when vetting novel open-source utilities to accelerate enterprise expansion. We aim to facilitate the identification of viable alternatives to the software solutions currently in your operational stack.

Join the collective effort to assemble the most comprehensive catalog of freely licensed software.

Financial Backing

m4v is governed under the GPL-3.0 License, and its sustained evolution is made possible purely through the patronage of these remarkable supporters. Should you wish to join them, kindly consider offering sponsorship to m4v's ongoing development.

Alternatively, if you wish to bolster the initiative, you might look into procuring our Next.js boilerplate, which provides the foundational structure necessary for constructing directory-style web properties such as this one.

Operational Dependencies

m4v leverages the following external services in its operation:

• Data Persistence Layer: Neon
• Usage Telemetry: Plausible, PostHog
• Electronic Mail Distribution: Beehiiv
• Asynchronous Task Processing: Inngest
• Digital Asset Storage: AWS S3
• Transaction Handling: Stripe
• Visual Capture: ScreenshotOne

Ensure appropriate credentials for these external dependencies are provisioned and correctly specified within your .env configuration file.

Architectural Blueprint

m4v is engineered as a Turborepo monorepository comprising several constituent modules. The file system arrangement is delineated as follows:

• /apps - Turborepo-managed executables

• /app - The primary Next.js frontend utilizing the App Router paradigm

  • /app - Application routing definitions and layout structures (Next.js App Router conventions)
  • /components - Modular, reusable React UI elements
  • /lib - Essential utilities and core functional implementation
  • /actions - Server-side operational functions
  • /utils - Auxiliary helper routines
  • /hooks - Custom React hook definitions
  • /contexts - React context provider setups
  • /services - Integrations with external platforms
  • /emails - Templated correspondence definitions
  • /server - Code intended for execution exclusively on the backend
  • /functions - Standalone utility procedures
  • /config - System configuration artifacts
  • /content - Data managed outside of the core application logic
  • /types - TypeScript interface and type definitions
  • /public - Statically served media assets

• /analyzer - Sub-project dedicated to data inspection and metrics assessment

• /packages - Shared, reusable libraries

• /db - Database schema definition and related access methods
• /github - Utilities specifically designed for GitHub API interaction

The monorepo employs Turborepo for streamlined task coordination and dependency graph management across all contained modules.

Local Setup Procedure

This development environment mandates the utilization of Bun as the chosen package manager and JavaScript runtime. Confirm that Bun is installed prior to proceeding.

To initialize the repository for local development:

1. Clone the source code repository.
2. Execute bun install to fetch all requisite dependencies.
3. Establish the necessary environment parameters (see next section).
4. Invoke bun run db:push to propagate the Prisma schema definitions to the operational database.
5. Execute bun run dev to initiate the application server in a development configuration.

Environmental Parameters

Consult the .env.example manifest for a comprehensive enumeration of required settings.

Duplicate the .env.example file to create a local .env file and populate the directives as appropriate:

cp .env.example .env

🧞 Core Operations

All operational commands must be issued from the root directory of the repository via a command-line interface:

Command	Purpose
bun install	Resolve and install project dependencies
bun run dev	Launch the local iterative development instance (port 5173)
bun run build	Compile artifacts for production deployment
bun run start	Serve the locally built production artifact
bun run lint	Execute static code analysis checks
bun run format	Standardize source code styling
bun run typecheck	Validate TypeScript contract adherence
bun run db:generate	Produce the Prisma ORM client code
bun run db:studio	Open the visual Prisma data browser
bun run db:push	Apply schema modifications to the persistent store
bun run db:pull	Synchronize local schema with the live database
bun run db:reset	Complete rollback and re-initialization of schema

Distribution Strategy

The project infrastructure is optimized for automated deployment via Vercel. For manual deployment:

1. Generate the production bundle: bun run build
2. Activate the production serving mechanism: bun run start

Guarantee that all required environmental variables are correctly provisioned within the target production context.

Intellectual Property

m4v is distributed under the terms of the GPL-3.0 License.
