Getting Started

Environment Variables

PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL: This can be found in the "API" section of your Supabase project's settings PUBLIC_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY: This can be found in the "API" section of your Supabase project's settings PUBLIC_ALLOWED_EMAILS: Comma separated email address list which are allowed to access the dashboard. (Do not keep any spaces) e.g: [email protected],[email protected]

The following values in the .env file will be auto filled if you are deploying directly to vercel. If not, you need to setup a project on Upstash and copy these values from the dashboard.
