How this project works

Emberquay Journal is an original teaching blog in twelve complete snapshots. Clone once and run any numbered folder without rebuilding earlier stages.

The path starts with SolidStart and routing, adds Bootstrap layouts, then introduces isolated Postgres databases. Later parts add sessions, media, ownership, pagination, search, reset tokens, and Netlify deploy notes.

Snapshots 4–12 seed ada@example.com and grace@example.com with password123.

Local Postgres runs through Docker Compose on host port 5443 with databases emberquay_01emberquay_12.
