Why Deckly?

Deckly gives founders a polished, secure way to share fundraising materials and gives investors the context they need to evaluate them. Keep a stable link while decks evolve, organize related documents into data rooms, and turn viewer activity into actionable signals.

How it works

1. Upload and organize your pitch decks and supporting material.
2. Share a protected link or assemble a data room for a fundraising process.
3. Track engagement to understand which viewers and slides are attracting attention.
4. Iterate confidently by updating the document without changing its share URL.

Quick start

Prerequisites

• Node.js 24 or newer
• Docker, for local Supabase development
• Supabase CLI, available through npx supabase or a global installation

1. Clone and install

git clone https://github.com/ManishBlueprints/Deckly.git
cd Deckly
npm install
cp .env.example .env.local

2. Configure the app

At minimum, add your Supabase project details to .env.local:

VITE_SUPABASE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:54321
VITE_SUPABASE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY=your_local_publishable_key

See .env.example for optional analytics, storage, document-processing, email, and billing configuration. Never commit real secrets.

3. Bootstrap Supabase

For a local stack:

npm run supabase:bootstrap -- local

For a fresh linked Supabase project:

npx supabase login
npm run supabase:bootstrap -- remote --project-ref YOUR_PROJECT_REF

The bootstrap command links the target project, applies migrations, loads the minimal seed data, and verifies the installation. Provide SUPABASE_DB_PASSWORD and optionally SUPABASE_ADMIN_EMAIL when bootstrapping a remote project.

4. Start developing

npm run dev

Open the Vite URL printed in your terminal, normally http://localhost:5173.

Self-hosting and deployment

Deckly is designed to run in your own Supabase project. The executable database history lives in supabase/migrations/; supabase/schema.sql is a readable reference, not a provisioning script.

For a production deployment:

1. Create and bootstrap a Supabase project with the remote command above.
2. Configure the browser-safe variables and required Edge Function secrets from .env.example.
3. Configure Cloudflare R2 and CloudConvert if you need private asset delivery or office-document conversion.
4. Build and deploy the Vite app through your preferred static host.

Quality checks

Run the same checks used by continuous integration before opening a pull request:

npm run type-check
npm run lint
npm test
npm run build

Docker development

docker-compose up

The application will be available at http://localhost:5173.

Contributing

Contributions are welcome. Please open an issue to discuss substantial changes, fork the repository, create a focused branch, and submit a pull request using the included template. Before submitting, run the quality checks and describe how you tested the change.

Under AGPL-3.0 Section 13, if you modify Deckly and make that modified version available for users to interact with over a network, you must offer those users access to the corresponding source code of your version. A visible source link in your deployed application is a practical way to meet this obligation.
