# Drop 
Drop is an open-source game distribution platform, like GameVault or Steam. It's designed to distribute and shared DRM-free game quickly, all while being incredibly flexible, beautiful and fast. 

## Philosophy
1. Drop needs to be flexible. If you look at the code base, there are lots of interfaces and abstractions and generic classes. While these do make Drop a bit heavier, they create the much needed flexibility, modularity and future-proofing that Drop needs.
2. Drop needs to be secure. Always have security in mind when designing new features for Drop. 
3. Drop needs to be user-friendly. Follow good design principles, and don't overload the user with too much information at once. Balance hiding things between menus and showing it all at once. 

## The Tech Stack
This repo uses the Nuxt 3 + TailwindCSS stack, with the `yarn` package manager.

For the database, Drop uses Prisma connected to PostgreSQL.

## Development
To get started with development, you need `yarn` and `docker compose` installed (or know how to set up a PostgreSQL database).

Steps:
1. Copy the `.env.example` to `.env` and add your GiantBomb metadata key (more metadata providers coming)
2. Open up a terminal and navigate to `dev-tools`, and run `docker compose up`
3. Open up a terminal in the root directory of the project and run `yarn` and then `yarn dev` to start the dev server

## Contributing
Drop welcomes contributions! Just a couple of notes:
1. We use the Prettier formatter, so please format your code with that
2. Drop uses TailwindCSS `blue-600` and the `zinc` colours for monochrome
