# CareerConnect - FBLA 2025
## Overview
This is a lost and found application built using [SvelteKit](https://kit.svelte.dev/) for the 2026 FBLA Website Coding &
Development event. It allows users to browse items, post found items, and manage them. The
application is designed for fast performance and a seamless user experience.
## Features
- User authentication (login/signup/logout)
- Email-only token-based methods for non-admins
- Browse/search items
- Post found items
- Inquire about items
- Claim items
- Email notifications
- Themes
## Installation
To set up the project locally, follow these steps:
### Prerequisites
- [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/) (LTS recommended)
- [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/) or [pnpm](https://pnpm.io/)
### Clone the repository
```sh
git clone https://git.marinodev.com/MarinoDev/FBLA25
cd FBLA25
```
Create a `.env` file in the root directory and configure environment variables. `.env.example` is provided as a
template.
Download a LLaMA compatible LLM (and mmproj) to `llm-models`. I
recommend [Qwen3-VL-2B-Instruct](https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen3-VL-2B-Instruct-GGUF).
### Docker
A `Dockerfile` and `docker-compose.yml` file are provided for running the application in a Docker container.
### Manual
Using Docker is strongly recommended, as it bundles the database and the AI.
#### Install dependencies
```sh
npm install
```
#### Start the development server
```sh
npm run dev
```
Go to `http://localhost:5173/` (or the port shown in the terminal).
