Open in Gitpod

This monorepo contains daily.dev's application suite. The repo includes the web app and the extension, along with shared components for the two. By using a monorepo approach, we can easily share code and maintain consistency across the different parts of the application suite. The decision was made to allow faster iterations and to keep features parity in both platforms.

Technologies

  • Node v22.11 (a .nvmrc is presented for nvm users).
  • pnpm for managing the monorepo and dependencies.

Projects

contains a collection of smaller projects or libraries that are used across the daily.dev application suite. Here's a brief overview of each package mentioned:

  • Shared ESLint settings for maintaining consistent code quality across the project.

  • A custom ESLint plugin that defines a set of rules for the project, including a rule to enforce consistent color usage.

  • The browser extension project. Includes webpack configuration for browser extensions and the dedicated components just for the extension.

  • Shared Prettier settings for all the projects in this repo.

  • The main project contains most of the components used in the applications. Every component that needs to be used on both platforms should be placed in this project. This includes the design system components, custom hooks, and many more.

  • The Storybook configuration for the project, used to develop and showcase UI components in isolation.

  • The web app project. This is a Next.js project and has more pages than the extension, such as a registration page, post page, profile page, etc. For more information click here.
