AIorNot.vote

A photorealistic image/video guessing game. Verified users decide whether media is AI-generated or real, track a personal history, compete on leaderboards, and subscribe to every list by RSS.

Built on the ProFullstack stack with Turso (SQLite) + Drizzle, Next.js 15, custom email/password auth (Argon2id), S3/R2 object storage, and seeded from Unsplash (real photos) + OpenAI image generation (AI variants). Deploys to Railway.

Monorepo layout

apps/web            Next.js app: public pages, auth, guessing, RSS, admin
packages/db         Drizzle schema, SQL migrations, Turso client, seeders
packages/seed       Unsplash import + OpenAI variant generation (shared)
services/worker     CLI jobs: seed:unsplash, seed:ai-variants, recalc, warm-feeds

Quick start (local, no external keys needed)

pnpm install
cp .env.example .env            # local defaults use a file: SQLite db at repo root
pnpm migrate                    # apply schema
pnpm seed:tags                  # 22 default tags
pnpm seed:demo                  # 12 demo media (placeholder images) + admin user
pnpm dev                        # http://localhost:3000

The demo seed creates media with picsum.photos placeholders so the app renders immediately. Email verification links are printed to the server console when RESEND_API_KEY is unset. Sign up with the address in ADMIN_EMAILS (anthony@profullstack.com by default) to get an admin account.

Environment

See .env.example. Nothing secret is committed. For production set TURSO_DATABASE_URL + TURSO_AUTH_TOKEN, SESSION_SECRET, RESEND_API_KEY, the R2_* bucket vars, and (for seeding) UNSPLASH_ACCESS_KEY

• OPENAI_API_KEY.

Seeding real + AI media

# Real photos from Unsplash (needs UNSPLASH_ACCESS_KEY)
pnpm --filter @aiornot/worker seed:unsplash 100

# Photorealistic AI variants (needs OPENAI_API_KEY + R2_* storage)
pnpm --filter @aiornot/worker seed:ai-variants 100

# Recompute leaderboard/media stats from raw guesses (cron-safe)
pnpm --filter @aiornot/worker recalc:leaderboards

Admins can also trigger small seed batches from /admin/seed-batches.

Deploy (Railway)

Two services share this repo (see railway.json):

• web — pnpm install --frozen-lockfile && pnpm build, start pnpm --filter @aiornot/db migrate && pnpm --filter @aiornot/web start.
• worker — runs the seed/recalc CLIs on a schedule.

What's implemented

• Email/password auth with Argon2id, HTTP-only signed sessions, 30-minute verification tokens (hashed at rest), verification-gated guessing/uploads.
• Public feed, media detail (/m/:slug, /i/:slug → 308 redirect), tag pages, search with sort/filter, /play arena mode.
• Guessing: one guess per media per user, changeable until locked, crowd stats + correctness reveal, per-user + per-media stat rollups with streaks.
• Leaderboards: all-time / weekly / monthly / streaks / per-tag / per-media-type, each with an RSS feed and minimum-participation thresholds.
• RSS everywhere: latest, trending, featured, tag, search, per-media, and every leaderboard — with autodiscovery <link> tags and a /feeds directory.
• Uploads/submissions to R2 (SigV4) or external URL with SSRF guard; admin moderation queue, truth-label management (with re-scoring), tag admin, users.
• SEO: SSR pages, canonical metadata, OG/Twitter cards, robots.txt, sitemap.xml, search pages noindex to avoid crawl traps.
