Internet Communities with Bitcoin Economies

  • Stacker News makes Bitcoin economies
  • What You See is What We Ship (look ma, I invented an initialism)
  • 100% FOSS
  • We pay bitcoin for PRs, issues, documentation, code reviews and more
  • Next.js, postgres, graphql, and lnd

Getting started

Launch a fully featured SN development environment in a single command.

$ ./sndev start

Go to localhost:3000.


Installation

  • Clone the repo
    • ssh: git clone git@github.com:stackernews/stacker.news.git
    • https: git clone https://github.com/stackernews/stacker.news.git
  • Install docker

Usage

Start the development environment

$ ./sndev start

By default all services will be run. If you want to exclude specific services from running, set COMPOSE_PROFILES to use one or more of minimal|images|search|payments. To only run mininal services without images, search, or payments:

$ COMPOSE_PROFILES=minimal ./sndev start

Or, as I would recommend:

$ export COMPOSE_PROFILES=minimal
$ ./sndev start

To run with images and payments services:

$ COMPOSE_PROFILES=images,payments ./sndev start

View all available commands

$ ./sndev help

Just in case

This document in no way legally entitles you to payments for contributions, entitles you to being a contributor, or entitles you to the attention of other contributors. This document lays out the system we can use to determine contribution awards which we generally intend to abide by but importantly we reserve the right to refuse payments or contributions, modify rules and award amounts, make exceptions to rules or reward amounts, and withhold awards for any reason at anytime, even just for the heck of it, at our sole discretion. If you need more certainty than what I've just described, don't participate. We provide awards as an experiment to make FOSS less sucky.


Pull request awards

Rules

  1. PRs closing an issue will be awarded according to the difficulty tag on an issue, e.g. difficulty:easy pays 100k sats.
  2. Issues are occasionally marked with a priority tag which multiplies the award of a PR closing an issue, e.g. an issue marked with priority:high and difficulty:hard awards 2m sats.
  3. An award is reduced by 10% of the award amount for each substantial change requested to the PR on code review, e.g. if two changes are requested on a PR closing an issue tagged with difficulty:hard, 800k sats will be awarded.
    • Reductions are applied before priority multipliers, e.g. a PR closing a priority:high and difficulty:hard issue that's approved after two changes are requested awards 1.6m sats.
    • You are responsible for understanding the issue and requirements before requesting review on a PR.
    • There is no award reduction for asking specific questions on the issue itself or on the PR before requesting review
    • There is no award reduction for asking more general questions in a discussion
  4. A PR must be merged by an SN engineer before a PR receives an award

Due to Rule 3, make sure that you mark your PR as a draft when you create it and it's not ready for review yet.

Difficulty award amounts

tag description award
difficulty:good-first-issue at most a couple lines of code in a couple files and does not require much familiarity with the codebase 20k sats
difficulty:easy at most a couple lines of code in a couple files but does require familiarity with the code base 100k sats
difficulty:medium more code, more places and could require adding columns in the db and some modification chunky db queries 250k sats
difficulty:medium-hard even more code, even more places and requires either more sophisticated logic, more significant db modeling eg adding a table, and/or a deeper study of a something 500k sats
difficulty:hard either a bigger lift than the what's required of medium-hard or very tricky in a particular way that might not require a lot of code but does require a lot of context/troubleshooting/expertise 1m sats

Priority multipliers

tag multiplier
priority:medium 1.5
priority:high 2
priority:urgent 3

Code review awards

Code reviewers will be awarded the amount their code review reduced from the PR author's reward, e.g. two substantial problems/areas of improvement identified in a PR closing a priority:high and difficulty:hard issue awards 400k sats.

Rules

  1. The problem or improvement must be acknowledged as such by SN engineers explicitly
  2. A PR must be merged by an SN engineer before a PR's code reviewers receive an award

Code review approvals are more than welcome, but we can't guarantee awards for them because the work performed to approve a PR is unverifiable.


Issue specification awards

Issue specifiers will be awarded up to 10% of a PR award for issues resulting in a PR being merged by an SN engineer that closes the issue. In addition to being subject to PR award amounts and reductions, specification amounts are awarded on the basis of how much additional help and specification is required by other contributors.

Rules

  1. The issue must directly result in PR being merged by an SN engineer that closes the issue
  2. Issue specification award amounts are based on the final PR award amounts
    • that is, they are subject to PR award code review reductions and priority multipliers
  3. Award amounts will be reduced on the basis of how much additional help and specification is required by other contributors
  4. Issue specifiers who can close their own issues with their own PRs are also eligible for this 10%
    • e.g an issue tagged as difficulty:hard that is both specified and closed by a PR from the same contributor without changes requested awards 1.1m sats

Relative awards

circumstances award
issue doesn't require further help and/or specification from other contributors 10%
issue requires little help and/or specification from other contributors 5%
issue requires more help and/or specification from other contributors than the issue specifier contributed 1%
issue is vague and/or incomplete and must mostly be entirely specified by someone else 0%

For example: a specified issue that's tagged as difficulty:hard, doesn't require additional specification and disambiguation by other contributors, and results in PR being merged without changes requested awards the issue specifier 100k sats.


Responsible disclosure of security or privacy vulnerability awards

Awards for responsible disclosures are assessed on the basis of:

  1. the potential loss resulting from an exploit of the vulnerability
  2. the trivialness of exploiting the vulnerability
  3. the disclosure's detail

Award amounts will be easiest to assess on a case by case basis. Upon confirmation of a vulnerability, we agree to award responsible disclosures at minimum 100k sats and as high as the total potential loss that would result from exploiting the vulnerability.

Rules

  1. Disclosure is responsible and does not increase the likelihood of an exploit.
  2. Disclosure includes steps to reproduce.
  3. Disclosure includes a realistic attack scenario with prerequisites for an attack and expected gains after the exploitation. Disclosures without such scenario, with unrealistic assumptions or without meaningful outcomes will not be eligible for awards.
  4. You must be the first person to responsibly disclose the issue to be eligible for awards.

Development documentation awards

For significant changes to documentation, create an issue before making said changes. In such cases we will award documentation improvements in accordance with issue specification and PR awards.

For changes on the order of something like a typo, we'll award a nominal amount at our discretion.


Helpfulness awards

Like issue specification awards, helping fellow contributors substantially in a well documented manner such that the helped fellow contributes a merged PR is eligible for a one-time relative reward.

circumstances award
substantial and singular source of help 10%
substantial but nonsingular source of help 1-5%
source of relatively trivial help 1%

Development Tips


Linting

We use JavaScript Standard Style to enforce code style and correctness. You should run sndev lint before submitting a PR.

If you're using VSCode, you can install the StandardJS VSCode Extension extension to get linting in your editor. We also recommend installing StandardJS code snippets and StandardJS react code snippets for code snippets.


Database migrations

We use prisma for our database migrations. To create a new migration, modify prisma/schema.prisma according to prisma schema reference and apply it with:

./sndev prisma migrate dev

If you want to create a migration without applying it, eg to create a trigger or modify the generated sql before applying, use the --create-only option:

./sndev prisma migrate dev --create-only

Generate the local copy of the prisma ORM client in node_modules after changes. This should only be needed to get Intellisense in your editor locally.

./sndev prisma generate


Connecting to the local database

You can connect to the local database via ./sndev psql. psql is an interactive terminal for working with PostgreSQL.


Running lncli on the local lnd nodes

You can run lncli on the local lnd nodes via ./sndev sn_lncli and ./sndev stacker_lncli. The node for your local SN instance is sn_lnd and the node serving as any external node, like a stacker's node or external wallet, is stacker_lnd.


Testing local auth

You can login to test features like posting, replying, tipping, etc with ./sndev login <nym> which will provide a link to login as an existing nym or a new account for a nonexistent nym. But, it you want to test auth specifically you'll need to configure them in your .env file.

Login with Email

  • Create a Sendgrid account (or other smtp service)
LOGIN_EMAIL_SERVER=smtp://apikey:<sendgrid_api_key>@smtp.sendgrid.net:587
LOGIN_EMAIL_FROM=<sendgrid_email_from>
  • Click "sign up" and enter your email address
  • Check your email
  • Click the link (looks like this):
http://localhost:3000/api/auth/callback/email?email=satoshi%40gmail.com&token=110e30a954ce7ca643379d90eb511640733de405f34a31b38eeda8e254d48cd7

Login with Github

  • Create a new OAuth app in your Github account
    • Set the callback URL to: http://localhost:3000/api/auth/callback/github
  • Update your .env file
GITHUB_ID=<Client ID>
GITHUB_SECRET=<Client secret>
  • Signup and login as above

Login with Lightning

  • Use ngrok to create a HTTPS tunnel to localhost:3000
  • Update LNAUTH_URL in .env with the URL provided by ngrok and add /api/lnauth to it

Enabling web push notifications

To enable Web Push locally, you will need to set the VAPID_* env vars. VAPID_MAILTO needs to be an email address using the mailto: scheme. For NEXT_PUBLIC_VAPID_KEY and VAPID_PRIVKEY, you can run npx web-push generate-vapid-keys.


Internals


Stack

The site is written in javascript (not typescript 😱) using Next.js, a React framework. The backend API is provided via GraphQL. The database is PostgreSQL modeled with Prisma. The job queue is also maintained in PostgreSQL. We use lnd for our lightning node. A customized Bootstrap theme is used for styling.


Services

Currently, SN runs and maintains two significant services and one microservice:

  1. the nextjs web app, found in ./
  2. the worker service, found in ./worker, which runs periodic jobs and jobs sent to it by the web app
  3. a screenshot microservice, found in ./capture, which takes screenshots of SN for social previews

In addition, we run other critical services the above services interact with like lnd, postgres, opensearch, tor, and s3.


Wallet transaction safety

To ensure stackers balances are kept sane, all wallet updates are run in serializable transactions at the database level. Because early versions of prisma had relatively poor support for transactions most wallet touching code is written in plpgsql stored procedures and can be found in the prisma/migrations folder.
