React Twitter

A remake of X (formerly Twitter) with the technologies listed below

• Bun as runtime and bundler
• ReactTS as framework
• TanStack Router for Routing
• Vinxi + Nitro for backend
• TRPC as middleware
• shadcn/ui for UI Components
• better-auth for user authentication

Currently a work-in-progress, the following will soon be integrated.

• @uploadthing/react for image uploading for user posts

This project will be migrated to TanStack Start once the meta-framework reaches v1.0

Configuration

This project can be either locally built for development and production, or for a vercel environment. Create a .env file as such, take a look at .env.example for a list of necessary variables.

This project also provides a ./start_database.sh file to help create a local postgres database using Docker. See comments inside the script file for more information.

Building

This project uses the bun runtime and bundler. The following commands are available for running/building this project:

• bun run dev (for development)
• bun run build (for production)
• bun run start (for production and to run)

Note that at time of writing, bun run start is currently not supported due to an issue in vinxi

This project also has several commands (provided by drizzle) to investigate the postgres database linked in your .env. See package.json for more information
