🏗 Architecture (Feature‑Sliced Design)

We follow the FSD approach to keep code organized by features, not by technical layers:

src/
├── app/              # Entry point, global providers (state, i18n, theming)
├── pages/            # Top-level route components
├── widgets/          # High-level UI blocks combining features and entities
├── features/         # Isolated business logic and actions (auth, comments)
├── entities/         # Data models, API integrations, and state slices
├── shared/           # Reusable utilities, UI components, and styles
└── processes/        # Long-running scenarios (WebSocket connection, background sync)

This structure ensures:

• Clear responsibility boundaries
• Easy onboarding for new developers
• Scalable codebase as features grow

🖥️ Local Setup

Note: The backend services cannot be run locally by community users. A running demo environment is provided instead.

1. Clone the repository

   git clone https://github.com/your-org/riseonly.git
   cd riseonly

2. Install dependencies

   yarn install   # Installs all workspace packages: backend, frontend, mobile

3. Configuration

   • Copy .env.example to .env in the frontend/ and mobile/ folders.
   • Fill in public API endpoints and environment variables as provided in the demo documentation.

4. Run the applications

   # Web frontend
   cd frontend && yarn start
   
   # Mobile app (Expo)
   cd ../mobile && yarn start

Backend-specific setup is restricted; instead, you can access a hosted demo or request a video walkthrough.
