Project Afterlife — Implementation Plan
For Claude: REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task.
Goal: Build the Project Afterlife web platform — a multilingual site for game preservation with interactive documentaries, powered by Next.js + Strapi CMS, fully self-hosted.
Architecture: Monorepo with Turborepo containing two apps (Next.js frontend + Strapi 5 CMS) and a shared types package. All services orchestrated via Docker Compose (Nginx, Node apps, PostgreSQL, MinIO). Content managed through Strapi's i18n plugin, consumed by Next.js via REST API.
Tech Stack: Next.js 15 (App Router), TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, Framer Motion, next-intl, Howler.js, Strapi 5, PostgreSQL, MinIO, Docker, Nginx
Design doc: docs/plans/2026-02-21-project-afterlife-design.md

Step 1: Create Strapi project
Run: npx create-strapi@latest apps/cms --quickstart --no-run --typescript
Note: After scaffold, remove the default SQLite config and configure PostgreSQL.
Step 2: Update apps/cms/package.json — set name to @afterlife/cms
Change name field to "@afterlife/cms".
Step 3: Configure PostgreSQL database
Modify apps/cms/config/database.ts:
export default ({ env }) => ({
connection: {
client: "postgres",
connection: {
host: env("DATABASE_HOST", "127.0.0.1"),
port: env.int("DATABASE_PORT", 5432),
database: env("DATABASE_NAME", "afterlife"),
user: env("DATABASE_USERNAME", "afterlife"),
password: env("DATABASE_PASSWORD", "afterlife"),
ssl: env.bool("DATABASE_SSL", false),
},
},
});
Step 4: Create apps/cms/.env
HOST=0.0.0.0
PORT=1337
APP_KEYS=key1,key2,key3,key4
API_TOKEN_SALT=your-api-token-salt
ADMIN_JWT_SECRET=your-admin-jwt-secret

import { routing } from "./i18n/routing";
export default createMiddleware(routing);
export const config = {
matcher: ["/((?!api|_next|_vercel|.*\\..*).*)"],
};
Step 6: Move layout and page into [locale] directory
Move apps/web/src/app/layout.tsx → apps/web/src/app/[locale]/layout.tsx
Move apps/web/src/app/page.tsx → apps/web/src/app/[locale]/page.tsx
Update apps/web/src/app/[locale]/layout.tsx:
import type { Metadata } from "next";
import { NextIntlClientProvider } from "next-intl";
import { getMessages } from "next-intl/server";
import { notFound } from "next/navigation";
import { routing } from "@/i18n/routing";
import "./globals.css";
export const metadata: Metadata = {
title: "Project Afterlife",
description: "Preserving online games that deserve a second life",
};
export default async function LocaleLayout({
children,
params,
}: {
children: React.ReactNode;
params: Promise<{ locale: string }>;
}) {
const { locale } = await params;
if (!routing.locales.includes(locale as any)) {
notFound();
}
const messages = await getMessages();
return (
<html lang={locale}>
<body>
<NextIntlClientProvider messages={messages}>
{children}
</NextIntlClientProvider>
</body>
</html>
);
}
Also move globals.css to apps/web/src/app/[locale]/globals.css.
Step 7: Update next.config

path: string;
params?: Record<string, string>;
locale?: string;
}
export async function strapiGet<T>({ path, params, locale }: FetchOptions): Promise<T> {
const url = new URL(`/api${path}`, STRAPI_URL);
if (locale) url.searchParams.set("locale", locale);
if (params) {
for (const [key, value] of Object.entries(params)) {
url.searchParams.set(key, value);
}
}
const headers: HeadersInit = { "Content-Type": "application/json" };
if (STRAPI_TOKEN) {
headers.Authorization = `Bearer ${STRAPI_TOKEN}`;
}
const res = await fetch(url.toString(), {
headers,
next: { revalidate: 60 },
});
if (!res.ok) {
throw new Error(`Strapi error: ${res.status} ${res.statusText}`);
}
return res.json();
}
Step 3: Create API functions
apps/web/src/lib/api.ts:
import type {
Game,
Documentary,
Chapter,
StrapiListResponse,
StrapiResponse,
} from "@afterlife/shared";
import { strapiGet } from "./strapi";
export async function getGames(locale: string): Promise<StrapiListResponse<Game>> {
return strapiGet({
path: "/games",
locale,
params: {
"populate[coverImage]": "*",
"populate[documentary]": "*",
"sort": "createdAt:desc",
},
});
}
export async function getGameBySlug(slug: string, locale: string): Promise<StrapiResponse<Game>> {
return strapiGet({
path: `/games`,
locale,
params: {
"filters[slug][$eq]": slug,
"populate[coverImage]": "*",
"populate[screenshots]": "*",
"populate[documentary][populate][chapters][populate]": "*",
},
});
}
export async function getDocumentaryByGameSlug(
slug: string,
locale: string
): Promise<Documentary | null> {
const gameRes = await getGameBySlug(slug, locale);
const game = Array.isArray(gameRes.data) ? gameRes.data[0] : gameRes.data;
return game?.documentary ?? null;
}
export async function getChapter(
chapterId: number,
locale: string
): Promise<StrapiResponse<Chapter>> {
return strapiGet({
path: `/chapters/${chapterId}`,
locale,
params: {
"populate[audioFile]": "*",
"populate[coverImage]": "*",
},
});
}
Step 4: Commit

Step 6: Create ReadingProgress
apps/web/src/components/documentary/ReadingProgress.tsx:
"use client";
import { useEffect, useState } from "react";
export function ReadingProgress() {
const [progress, setProgress] = useState(0);
useEffect(() => {
function handleScroll() {
const scrollTop = window.scrollY;

onSeek={audio.seek}
onChangeRate={audio.changeRate}
onToggleContinuous={() => audio.setContinuousMode(!audio.continuousMode)}

</>
);
}
Step 8: Create documentary page
apps/web/src/app/[locale]/games/[slug]/documentary/page.tsx:
import { notFound } from "next/navigation";
