fauxfriends

An app to find the people on Instagram that you are not following back.
I am NOT a front-end developer, so the UI is not the best, but it works.
You can see it in action at fauxfriends.fly.dev.

Running the Application

Prerequisites

Before running the app locally, make sure you have the following installed:

• Java 21 or newer
• Gradle

Run the application in development mode

To run the application in dev mode (live coding), use the following command:

./gradlew quarkusDev

This will start the application on http://localhost:8080, where you can access the app.

Build and run the application

To build and run the application:

1. Build the app:

   ./gradlew build

2. Once built, run the app:

   java -jar build/quarkus-app/quarkus-run.jar

Native executable (optional)

If you want to build a native executable for faster startup times, you can do that with:

./gradlew build -Dquarkus.native.enabled=true

Or, to build the native executable inside a container:

./gradlew build -Dquarkus.native.enabled=true -Dquarkus.native.container-build=true

Once built, you can run the native executable:

./build/fauxfriends-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT-runner

For more information on creating native executables, check the Quarkus Native Executable Guide.
