A collaborative platform to track corrupt Nepali politicians and their family, promoting transparency and accountability in Nepali politics.

• Lifestyle Documentation: Record luxury items, recent splurges, and expensive education
• Business Interests: Document family members' business ownership and positions
• Social Media Links: Connect to family members' social media profiles for evidence
• Source Attribution: All information backed by credible sources
• Collaborative: Easy for contributors to add new information via pull requests

• Frontend: Next.js 14 with React 18
• Styling: Tailwind CSS
• Data: JSON files with schema validation
• View Counter: Upstash Redis (Redis-compatible)
• Icons: Lucide React
• Deployment: Vercel ready

The view counter feature uses Upstash Redis for persistent storage. To set it up:

1. Create an Upstash Redis database:

   • Go to Vercel Marketplace
   • Search for "Upstash Redis"
   • Click "Add Integration"
   • Create a new Redis database
   • Connect it to your Vercel project

2. Get your credentials:

   • The integration automatically adds these environment variables:
   • REDIS_KV_REST_API_URL
   • REDIS_KV_REST_API_TOKEN

3. For local development:

   # Copy the example file
   cp .env.example .env.local
   
   # Add your Redis credentials to .env.local
   REDIS_KV_REST_API_URL=your_upstash_redis_rest_url_here
   REDIS_KV_REST_API_TOKEN=your_upstash_redis_rest_token_here

4. Deploy to Vercel:

   • The environment variables will be automatically configured in your Vercel project
   • View counters will work immediately after deployment

# Build the application
npm run build

# Start production server
npm start
