🐎 Hoof 🐎

This repository contains backend services for the Playful Programming website and (future) content management system.

Prerequisites

• Node.js 22
• Docker
• pnpm 10.6.1

Quick Start

Install the project dependencies:

pnpm install

Set up secrets & environment variables:

cp .env.example .env

Start background services:

docker compose up -d

Run the dev server:

pnpm dev

Once it's running, you should see the API documentation hosted at http://localhost:3000/docs/. This can also be used to test the endpoints!

Roadmap

• Manage tasks for post image & metadata generation (initial deployment)
• Index & sync post content from the main repository
• Provide APIs to query that content on-demand (so that playfulprogramming can switch to SSR)
• Enable user accounts & login
• Provide APIs to directly create and edit site content
