What You Need to Do (5 Minutes)
1. Set Up Supabase (First Time Only)
# You have two options:
Option A: Create New Supabase Project (Recommended)
- Go to https://supabase.com and sign up (free)
- Create a new project called
pathfinder - Wait 2-3 minutes for setup
- Follow the detailed guide in
SUPABASE_SETUP.md
Option B: Use Existing Data (If You Already Have Companies in localStorage)
- The app will continue working with localStorage until you set up Supabase
- Your data is safe and won't be lost
2. Create Your .env.local File
# Copy the template
cp .env.local.template .env.local
# Then edit .env.local with your actual Supabase credentials
3. Restart Dev Server
# Stop current server (Ctrl+C)
npm run dev
4. Test It!
- Go to http://localhost:3000/access-crm
- Scroll to "Property Management Companies" section
- Click "+ Add Company"
- Add a test company
- It should save to Supabase! š
For Cole (or Anyone Else on Your Team)
Share your .env.local file contents securely with Cole:
NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL=https://xxxxx.supabase.co
NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY=eyJhbGci...
Cole should:
- Clone/pull the latest code
- Run
npm install(Supabase is now a dependency) - Create his own
.env.localwith the same credentials - Run
npm run dev
Both of you will see the same data! š¤

- ā Add companies (saves to localStorage)
- ā Edit companies
- ā Delete companies
- ā Search functionality
- ā All stats and dashboards
- ā Beautiful UI
- ā Data persists in browser
With Supabase setup:
- ā Everything above PLUS

Troubleshooting
"Can't connect to Supabase"
- Did you create
.env.local? - Did you restart the dev server?
- Check your credentials are correct
"Still using localStorage"
- That's the fallback! It's working as designed
- Set up Supabase when you're ready
"Cole can't see my data"
- Make sure he has the same
.env.localcredentials - Both must be using Supabase (not localStorage)
