Cases are one queue for what someone has to decide, each with a thread (internal notes for those deciding), an assignee and a decision. Reports about a product go to the teams of the catalogs hosting it and to moderators, and only the reporter and moderators know who reported. A creator lowering a rating opens a rating review; a catalog's owner asking to delete it opens a deletion request; a catalog's team can ask for a product's removal everywhere; the person an action affected can appeal it once, decided by another moderator (an admin may decide their own, flagged). Resolving carries the case out: the rating is lowered, the product removed, the catalog deleted. Notifications reach people on the website (a bell with the unread count) and their proxies (realtime): moderators' edits to their products, removals and restores, decisions and replies on their cases, membership decisions. Also: moderators can restore a removed product, and a product's creator and moderators can see it when it's adult without an adult account (getting and wearing it still need one).

T5DE Hub website
The hub's website: accounts, linked IMVU accounts, who's online, signing T5DE in, and the moderation console.
Next.js (App Router), Tailwind CSS and shadcn/ui. Pages are rendered on the server, which calls the hub's API
(apps/api) with the visitor's cookie; forms use server actions. The browser only talks to this app: /api/* is
rewritten to the API, so the API's session cookies belong to the website's origin.
Develop
From the repository root, bun install, then start the API (cd apps/api && bun src/index.ts) and the website:
cd apps/web
bun run dev # http://localhost:4100
bun run check-types
bun run build
The first account created is the hub's admin.
Configuration
| Variable | Default | What |
|---|---|---|
API_URL |
http://localhost:4101 |
The API's address as this app reaches it. Needed at build time and at run time (below). |
PORT |
4100 |
The standalone server's port (next start and bun run dev use 4100). |
The API's WEB_URL must be this website's public address (it's where Better Auth trusts requests from, and where
T5DE's sign-in code page is).
API_URL is read in two places: by server code on every request, and by next.config.ts's /api rewrite, which
Next fixes when it builds. So build with the same API_URL the app will run with.
Deploy
Container
The Dockerfile builds a standalone server (output: "standalone"). Build it from the repository root:
docker build -f apps/web/Dockerfile --build-arg API_URL=http://api:4101 -t t5de-hub-web .
docker run -p 4100:4100 -e API_URL=http://api:4101 t5de-hub-web
Next's own gzip is off (it held back the API's live event stream), so put a reverse proxy that compresses in front,
and don't let it buffer text/event-stream responses (/api/v1/online/events).
Vercel
Import the repository with the project's root directory set to apps/web (Vercel installs the Bun workspace from the
root). Set API_URL to the API's public address for both builds and runtime. Nothing else is needed: there's no
custom server.
