Where great ideas find great communities
Traditional Crowdfunding and Creator Platforms are built on closed monetary and social networks, which limits the use of crowdfunding (a powerful financial primitive) to around 30 Western countries and restricts project reach and social interaction to the platform.
Geyser is enabling the Open Creator Economy, by building fundraising on top of open Bitcoin/Lightning, open monetary networks, and Nostr, an open social network. With these tools we can empower creators globally to reach their communities and raise funds from them.
As an open company, we also build Open Source software and rely on the support of contributors to change the world for the better.
This section should list any major frameworks/libraries used to bootstrap your project. Leave any add-ons/plugins for the acknowledgements section. Here are a few examples.
Yarn We use yarn as a dependency manager, install yarn if not already installed
npm install --global yarn
Docker ( optional )
We can use docker and docker compose for local development of the geyser-app.
If you prefer using docker for development, make sure to have them installed on your local development machine, see here.
Clone the repo, get into the repo directory and run:
yarnThe app requires some environment variables to be set. We provide an example.env file that you can copy to the a local .env file:
cp .env.example .envFrom there, populate the new file with the correct values. You have two development environment options, detailed below.
Make sure to complete the instructions described in Hosts Configuration, before proceeding using this method.
Currently, the staging API is the only way to get a functional authentication flow in standalone geyser-app development environment.
To use the staging API, fill in the following value in the .env file:
VITE_APP_API_ENDPOINT=https://api.staging.geyser.fundStart the server:
make devMany at times we prefer using host machine intead of docker to run the server. In such cases we can use them directly.
Install dependencies:
yarn installStart the server:
yarn devIf you run into problems running the app through make command, you can run the app by running the following command in the project directory, as long as one of the docker configuration above is satisfied.
docker compose up -dOr, if you are running an older version of docker and have docker-compose installed separately, run:
docker-compose up -dTo see the react app logs use the following command:
docker compose logs -f geyser-appor
docker-compose logs -f geyser-appIn order for the requests to go through to the staging backend API, you will need to add the following line to your /etc/hosts file:
127.0.0.1 staging.geyser.fundThis makes sure that you are able to make requests to the staging API from your local development environment with encountering CORS errors.
If running against the GraphQL Faker server, you'll also need these in the same /etc/hosts file:
127.0.0.1 dev.geyser.fund
127.0.0.1 api.dev.geyser.fundWe are using Caddy as a reverse proxy to serve the local development app over HTTPS. This means that you will need to trust the Caddy Local CA Certificate in order to avoid any ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID errors in your browser.
To do so, you can run the following command from the project root directory after starting the app and caddy server:
sudo yarn caddy:trust-caThis command will add the Caddy Local CA Certificate to your system's list of trusted certificates (only works on MacOS for now). It needs sudo rights for that.
With Docker running, navigate to the staging URL provided below.
We have end-to-end tests with Cypress. To run the tests locally, we'd need to create a cypress.env.json file in the root directory, with the following key values:
APP_URL,
CONTRIBUTOR_LND_ENDPOINT,
CONTRIBUTOR_LND_ADMIN_MACAROON_HEX,
MINE_BLOCK_ADDRESS,
BITCOIND_ENDPOINT,
BITCOIND_AUTHthen
