HsnHacks Website

This repository contains the Next.js site for the HSN Hacks hackathon.

Prerequisites

• Node.js 18.17+ (or the version bundled with the latest LTS release)
• npm 9+ (bundled with Node.js) or Yarn 1.x/2.x

Getting Started

1. Install dependencies:

   npm install

2. Start the local development server:

   npm run dev

3. Visit http://localhost:3000 to view the site. Edits inside the app/ directory hot-reload automatically.

Project Structure

• app/ - App Router pages, layouts, and shared UI (_components/).
• public/ - Static assets such as sponsor logos and the favicon.
• styles are managed via Tailwind classes declared in app/globals.css.

Available Scripts

• npm run dev - Launches the Next.js development server.
• npm run build - Creates an optimized production build in .next/.
• npm start - Serves the production build locally (runs after npm run build).
• npm run lint - Runs ESLint using the Next.js configuration.

Environment Configuration

No secrets are required for the basic site. If you add APIs or dynamic features, store any keys in a .env.local file (ignored by git) and read them with process.env.

Deployment

1. Build the project:

   npm run build

2. Deploy the .next output to your hosting provider.

Recommended: Deploy with Vercel. Connect your repository, set the framework to Next.js, and Vercel will handle builds automatically.

For other platforms, ensure Node.js 18+ is available, run npm install followed by npm run build, and start the server with npm start.
