Northstar Recovery

Public homepage

The repository homepage is the CMA Meet landing site. Start it at http://localhost:3000 with:

npm start

Build the deployable static site with:

npm run site:build

The privacy policy is available at /privacy (production URL: https://cmameet.site/privacy once the static site is deployed).

Mobile app

The Expo app remains in the repository root. Start Metro with:

npm run mobile

An Expo managed-workflow prototype for iOS and Android. It is a private-feeling recovery companion with meeting discovery, a learning path, connection tools, and notification preference demos.

Run

npm install
npm start

Use npm run ios or npm run android with an available simulator/device.

AWS backend readiness

The app now has an AWS-ready HTTP API boundary in backend.js. It uses only public Expo configuration for the API/Cognito identifiers and keeps future Cognito access tokens in encrypted device storage through expo-secure-store.

Copy .env.example to .env and replace only the example values after the AWS dev stack exists.
Do not add AWS access keys, client secrets, database passwords, or push credentials to .env, EAS public variables, or source control.
Follow the deployment/security plan in aws/ARCHITECTURE.md before connecting real member data.

The current UI intentionally remains demo/local-only. It will show an explicit configuration error if a future API integration is called before its AWS environment variables are set.

Notes

All meeting, community, and reminder content is local demo data; Join, messages, and saved items provide local feedback only.
The literature action opens the official CMA site in the device browser. This project does not copy or scrape its text.
notifications.js requests permission and schedules an 8-second local demo insight. It needs a physical device for reliable notification testing; remote/push delivery needs Expo credentials and a backend, which are intentionally not included.
The quick-support action opens the phone app with 988 on platforms that support tel:. It is only a shortcut and not a substitute for local emergency services.
