AETHEX Project - Complete Technical Stack Analysis
Executive Summary
This document provides a comprehensive analysis of the AETHEX project's actual technical stack, comparing it against the development plan and identifying implementation status for all components.
1. FRONTEND STACK (Vercel)
Current Implementation
- Framework: Vite + React (Custom architecture)
- NOT Next.js - This is a significant difference from the development plan
- Build Tool: Vite for fast development and optimized production builds
- Hosting: Vercel
- UI Builder Integration: Builder.io visual editor
- Authentication Client: Custom Supabase client (NOT @supabase/ssr)

- GitHub OAuth (Supabase)
- Google OAuth (Supabase)
- Roblox OAuth (Custom implementation)
- Discord OAuth (New - just implemented)
- Web3/Ethereum (Metamask signature verification)
Critical Notes on Frontend
- ✅ Uses custom Supabase client (NOT the new @supabase/ssr package)
- ⚠️ Does NOT use Next.js App Router or middleware
- ⚠️ CSP headers need configuration in Vite for Discord Activity
- ✅ Builder.io visual editor integration working
- ✅ Mobile-responsive with full-screen modal arm switcher

10. DEPLOYMENT CHECKLIST
Frontend (Vercel)
- Environment variables set in Vercel dashboard
- CSP headers configured in vercel.json
- Branch deployments working
- Discord OAuth redirect URI set in Discord portal
Backend (Supabase)
- All migrations applied
- RLS policies enabled on all tables
- Service role key securely stored
Bot (Railway)
- Environment variables set
- Bot token valid and bot is online
- Slash commands registered
- Database connection working
Discord Developer Portal
- OAuth2 redirect URI: https://aethex.dev/api/discord/oauth/callback
- Bot invited to test servers
- Slash commands enabled
- Activity features enabled (if using Embedded App SDK)
CONCLUSION
The AETHEX project is ~75% production-ready. The core architecture differs from the development plan (Vite+React instead of Next.js), but the implementation is solid and functional. The main work ahead is:
- Configuring CSP headers for Discord Activity
- Implementing the full Embedded App SDK dual-auth flow
- Setting up CI/CD automation
- Minor performance optimizations to RLS policies
All critical functionality (auth, Discord, creator network, bot) is working and tested.
