DECIDE

Stop comparing. Get a decision.

DECIDE is a personal decision engine. You give it your options, what you care about, and your constraints. It returns one recommendation — and the reasons it won.

Live domain: https://decide.hmcoding.com

Product

Project layout

client/                 Vite app
  src/components/       UI, landing, decision, billing
  src/pages/            Thin route pages
  src/services/         Decision engine, auth, billing, AI interfaces
  src/lib/              Supabase client, validation, helpers
supabase/
  migrations/           Postgres schema, RLS, entitlement RPCs
  functions/            Razorpay checkout + webhook

Local development

cd client
cp .env.example .env.local
npm install
npm run dev

The decision flow works without Supabase. Auth, cloud history, and the 5-lifetime free limit activate when client/.env.local has the project URL and anon/publishable key. A .env at the repository root is not loaded — Vite's project root is client/.

Client environment

Copy client/.env.example to client/.env.local (never commit it):

VITE_SITE_URL=http://localhost:5173
VITE_SUPABASE_URL=https://YOUR-PROJECT.supabase.co
VITE_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY=YOUR_ANON_OR_PUBLISHABLE_KEY

Never put the service role key, database password, Razorpay secret, or webhook secret in VITE_ variables.

Supabase dashboard (manual)

GitHub integration is already set to deploy from main. After this repo is on main, confirm these in the DECIDE project:

1. Authentication → Providers → Email enabled.
2. Authentication → URL configuration
   • Site URL: http://localhost:5173 while developing locally
   • Redirect URLs: http://localhost:5173/auth/callback, http://localhost:5173/reset-password, and later https://decide.hmcoding.com/**
3. Sign-in is email and password (Google OAuth needs a Google Cloud client, which is skipped on the ₹0 path).
4. For local testing, Confirm email can be turned off so signup creates a session immediately (still free).

Razorpay checkout is scaffolded in supabase/functions/ and will be connected in a later step. Do not deploy those functions until then.

Migrations

supabase/migrations/0001_init.sql          schema, RLS, entitlements
supabase/migrations/0002_consume_lock.sql  serialized, idempotent usage

Deploy (Vercel)

1. Root directory: client
2. Build command: vite build
3. Output: dist
4. Add the VITE_ environment variables
5. Attach decide.hmcoding.com

North star

Too many choices. One clear answer.
