Introduction

bohr.io is a serverless platform designed for people starting to program, perfect for making your first deployments, whether for a portfolio, college project, job interview test, or any other project.

It's a unified solution to meet all beginner's needs, entirely focused on the developer experience. bohr.io is a unique tool in the market with incredible and unprecedented usability.

The platform is tightly integrated with GitHub, especially with GitHub Actions, the environment where the build for each project is performed.

Getting started with Bohr.io​

First of all, you must have a bohr.io account. Then, to create a project on bohr.io, you can choose a template or import a GitHub repository created using any framework. You can also create a new project directly from the terminal and deploy it on bohr.io instantly!

Now, navigate to your new Next.js project folder by clicking the "cd /app/my-next-app" button. navigate to the project folder

With your new project already created, you must publish it on bohr.io by clicking the "npx bohr deploy" button. bohr.io will install, build, and deploy the project within the platform. Once finished, your project will be live and ready to be accessed via the link provided in the terminal. publishing at bohr

Now, you can also create a GitHub repository for your new project by clicking the "gh repo create" button and setting your repository preferences.

Fullstack​

You can publish projects with both front-end and back-end. Just place your API (in Node.js) in the API folder. You can find more information in the Dashboard Template, for example.

Logs​

With bohr.io, you can view the your back-end logs within the platform through the Logs menu.

Environment Variables​

Store database credentials, API keys, and other data in the Environment Variables feature.

Content Editing​

Bohr.io offers an essential content editing feature integrated into the platform, where some changes can be made directly on the page, such as adding links and formatting text (bold, italic, etc.), among other options.

On the project screen, you also access the link to the repository created on GitHub.

Project Preview​

bohr.io allows you to preview realistic, real-time simulations of your project on mobile devices (smartphones, tablets) and different types of displays (desktop and laptop).

Collaboration Feature​

Using Durable Objects (Cloudflare) and liveblocks technologies, bohr.io allows developers working on the same project to view each other's activities in real time.

Visual Studio Code for the Web​

On the project screen, there's a link to Visual Studio Code for the Web to simplify the developer's work in creating and reviewing code.

Dogfooding​

Dogfooding means using your own products. Our platform fits into this concept since bohr.io is a project within bohr.io itself. In other words, you can open bohr.io within bohr.io (something like the movie Inception by director Christopher Nolan). 🤩
