koinYOU

koinonia (Greek: κοινωνία) - fellowship, community, sharing in common

Live and breathe God's word, together.

What is this?

koinYOU is a Bible app built for community. Search for any verse, save the ones that stick with you, and share them with friends. There's also a prayer wall where you can post prayers and lift others up, plus a space for devotions.

Most Bible apps feel like you're reading alone. This one's different - it's about doing faith with people.

Features

  • Verse Search - Find any verse instantly (try "John 3:16" or "1 Corinthians 13:4-7")
  • Save Verses - Build your personal collection
  • Send to Friends - Share a verse with someone who needs it
  • Prayer Wall - Post prayers, pray for others
  • Devotions - Share what God's been teaching you

Tech Stack

  • Frontend: Next.js, Tailwind CSS
  • Backend: Express, Node.js
  • Database: MongoDB
  • Auth: Google OAuth
  • Hosting: Vercel (frontend) + Railway (backend)

Running Locally

# Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/koinyou.git

# Frontend
npm install
npm run dev

# Backend (in another terminal)
cd server
npm install
npm run dev

You'll need a .env file with your MongoDB URI, Google OAuth credentials, etc.
