HondaAccord

A fast, native Discord-style desktop app for chatting with friends. Uses Spaces instead of servers — private groups you create and invite friends into.

Built with Tauri 2, React, Supabase, and LiveKit.

Website: See website/ for the marketing site (Next.js, deploys to Vercel).

Prerequisites

• Node.js 20+
• pnpm
• Rust (for Tauri)
• Supabase project (free tier)
• LiveKit Cloud project (free Build plan)

Setup

1. Install dependencies

pnpm install

2. Configure environment

Copy .env.example to .env and fill in your keys:

Variable	Where to find it
VITE_SUPABASE_URL	Supabase → Project Settings → API → Project URL
VITE_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY	Same page → anon public key
VITE_LIVEKIT_URL	LiveKit Cloud → your project → Settings → WebSocket URL (wss://...)

3. Run database migration

Link your Supabase project and push migrations:

pnpm supabase login
pnpm supabase link --project-ref YOUR_PROJECT_REF
pnpm supabase db push

Your project ref is the ID in your Supabase URL: https://YOUR_PROJECT_REF.supabase.co

4. Deploy LiveKit token function

Set secrets and deploy the Edge Function:

pnpm supabase secrets set LIVEKIT_API_KEY=your_key LIVEKIT_API_SECRET=your_secret
pnpm supabase functions deploy livekit-token

LiveKit keys: LiveKit Cloud → Settings → Keys

5. Enable username/password auth

HondaAccord shows users a simple username/password form. Internally it uses Supabase Email Auth with a hidden synthetic email format like username@hondaaccord.app.

In Supabase Dashboard → Authentication → Providers → enable Email.

For development, disable email confirmation: Authentication → Providers → Email → turn off "Confirm email". This is required because test users do not enter real emails.

6. Run the app

Windows (if pnpm gives a script error): double-click dev.cmd or run:

dev.cmd

Or use pnpm.cmd instead of pnpm:

pnpm.cmd tauri dev

Mac/Linux:

pnpm tauri dev

Alternative on Windows:

npm run tauri:dev

Testing voice + screen share

1. Create two accounts with username + password (two machines, or one desktop + browser with a second instance)
2. Add each other as friends by username
3. Create a Space and invite your friend (Friends → Invite to Space)
4. Both join the Voice channel and click Join Voice
5. Use the screen share button to share your screen

Features (MVP)

• Username/password auth
• Friend requests and friend list with online status
• Spaces with text + voice channels
• Real-time text chat
• 1:1 DMs
• Voice channels (LiveKit)
• Screen sharing with selectable quality up to a 4K/60 preferred profile
