Finishes the template-readiness sequence. All docs — nothing runtime.
README.md
Rewrites the landing page of the repo to actually sell what it is
to someone finding the repo cold on GitHub search.
- Shields.io badges: MIT, CI status, Next.js 16, Supabase, GitHub
stars.
- "What you get out of the box" bullet list — inbox, contacts,
pipelines, broadcasts, automations, dashboard, account
management — so the feature surface is visible before the reader
scrolls.
- "Why fork this?" section: full ownership, full customisation,
zero ops to start, real security primitives. Frames WaCRM as a
template, not an SDK.
- Docs section reorganised into Setup / Deploy / Reference to
match the in-app /docs viewer and docs/README.md.
- Contributing section rewrites the stale "Pull requests welcome"
line to match the fork-first framing from PR #73.
docs/architecture.md (new)
One-page tour for forkers: stack table, full folder layout,
two ASCII request-lifecycle diagrams (inbound webhook + outbound
send), security primitives rundown, and a "where to change things"
index that maps common customisation tasks to source files. This
is the thing I wish I'd had the first time I opened a forked
template.
docs/deployment-alternatives.md (new)
Short blocks for Vercel, Railway, raw VPS, and Docker. Each covers
env-var setup, cron strategy (Vercel cron without custom headers
is a footgun worth calling out), and trade-offs. Keeps Hostinger
as the primary recommendation — this page is for people whose
constraints rule it out.
docs/README.md
- Reading order grouped as Setup / Deploy / Reference, adding the
two new pages.
- Stack-at-a-glance updated: encryption is AES-256-GCM, not CBC
(the PR #71 change that earlier docs hadn't caught up to).
src/lib/docs/content.ts
Registers the two new markdown files in the ORDER map so they
appear in the in-app /docs sidebar under the Reference section,
with prev/next pagination wiring.
Verified: /docs, /docs/architecture, /docs/deployment-alternatives,
and /docs/getting-started all return 200 from the dev server.
Sidebar shows 9 pages grouped Setup / Deploy / Reference with the
new entries. Typecheck clean.
