Primary Features

• Simple yet very extensive search
• Article similarity calculation based on vectorization
• Analytics for publication views and search queries

Tech Stack

• We use Notion for content management due to its friendliness and nice API.
• The Back-end is a .NET Application that pulls the content from Notion, stores it in Redis, and serves it via an API. Back-End also stores some usage analytics in a SQLite db.
• The Front-end is built using Astro, React, and shadcn/ui.

Running

Running the Front-end locally should be very straightforward (you can do so with npm or Docker).

Running the Back-end requires a Notion Integration and a couple of Notion databases -- Collections, Publications, Authors, and Publishers. You can find a structure of those databases here (Click 'Duplicate' to save the structure to your Notion).

Make sure to specify the IDs of your databases inside server/Publications/Publications.API/appsettings.json.

Also, don't forget to create a .env file based on env.example for both client and server.
