apps/web

The public-facing Aurea website - Next.js 15, reading journal content from the API over GraphQL.

Overview

apps/web is the public Aurea website. It runs on Next.js 15 (App Router). Journal content is owned by the API (apps/api) and read over GraphQL - there is no CMS runtime in this app (PayloadCMS was removed in plan 09; authoring moved to the dashboard staff console).

Port: 3000
Package name: @aurea/web

Journal

Articles are authored in apps/dashboard (/admin/journal) and stored in the API Postgres. The public site reads them via src/app/(frontend)/journal/_lib/get-articles.ts (publishedArticles / publishedArticle) and renders the Lexical body with journal/_components/LexicalRenderer.tsx. Only published, past-dated articles are exposed.
