About
Eventbase is a simple platform to create and manage in-person events. Sign up to create events, send the links to attendees, and manage their RSVPs. The platform allows attendees to RSVP for events without creating an account, but will store their preferences and remember them if they choose to create an account in the future.
I built this project as an experiement to evaluate as many dev tool & infra companies in the YC W23 batch as I could. Read more about my takeaways here.
Getting Started
Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/alanagoyal/eventbase
Set up your database
Create a new Supabase project, enter your project details, and wait for the database to launch. Navigate to the SQL editor in the dashboard, paste the SQL below, and run it.
-- Create tables for guests, events, and rsvps
create table guests (
id uuid references auth.users on delete cascade not null primary key,
updated_at timestamp with time zone,
email text unique,
full_name text,
dietary_restrictions text,
company_name text,
);
create table events (
id uuid not null primary key,
created_by references public.guests.id not null,
created_at timestamp with time zone,
event_name text,
description text,
location text,
location_url text,
og_image text,
event_url text,
start_timestampz timestamp with time zone,
end_timestampz timestamp with time zone,
);
create table rsvps (
id uuid not null primary key,
created_at timestamp with time zone,
event_id uuid references public.events.id not null,
email text references public.guests.email,
comments text,
discussion_topics text,
);
-- This trigger automatically creates a guest when a new user signs up via Supabase Auth.
create function public.handle_new_user()
returns trigger as $$
begin
insert into public.guests (id, email)
values (new.id, new.email);
return new;
end;
$$ language plpgsql security definer;
create trigger on_auth_user_created
after insert on auth.users
for each row execute procedure public.handle_new_user();
Grab the project URL and anon key from the API settings and put them in a new .env.local file in the root directory as shown:
NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL = "https://<project>.supabase.co"
NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY = "<your-anon-key>"
Install dependencies
You'll need API keys for the following:
- Frigade provides onboarding infrastructure for developers. I used it to give new users a quick tour of the product.
- Highlight is an open-source, full-stack monitoring platform. I used it to replay user sessions and debug frontend errors.
- Pyq makes it easy for non-ML engineers to add ML features into their applications. I used it to generate an image based on the title of the event.
- Resend is a new email API for developers. I used it to send guests a beautiful confirmation email when they RSVP to an event.
- Google Maps is an API for places. I used it to autocomplete the location when a user is creating an event.
Put them in a .env file as shown in the .env.example.
