Juxtaposition

Juxtaposition is the Pretendo made Miiverse replacement and successor.

Philosophy

This project is not meant to be just a simple clone of Miiverse. We aim to evolve it and bring the platform into the modern era.

This means we both want to bring all features originally found in Miiverse into Juxtaposition, but go even further with even more features.

Limitations

• The web platforms on the 3DS and Wii U are old, thus we need to use old web methodologies like AJAX.
• The XML API of the Miiverse platform cannot be modified or extended, it needs to stay exactly as the consoles expect it.

Running locally for development

Prerequisites:

• Clone the repository
• Have a functional running account server and friends server
• Have NodeJS 20 or higher installed
• Optional: have docker installed (highly recommended)

After the prerequisites you need to run the following inside .docker:

docker compose up -d

If you are not using docker for development, please set up the services listed in .docker/docker-compose.yml manually.

Next up, you need to run the two services in /apps:

cd apps/miiverse-api
npm i
npm run dev

And in another terminal:

cd apps/juxtaposition-ui
npm i
npm run dev

You have to also make an .env file to configure your environment. Inspire it from the schema in src/config.ts in each service.

You can use PN_JUXTAPOSITION_UI_USE_PRESETS=docker and PN_MIIVERSE_API_USE_PRESETS=docker to automatically set up everything that's in the docker compose file.
