uv run python app.py

# Or using streamlit directly
uv run streamlit run src/social_server/pages/22_AI_Social_Feed.py --server.port=8503

# Or with pip installation
python app.py

3. Run the profile page:

# Using uv
uv run python app.py profile

# Or using streamlit directly
uv run streamlit run src/social_server/pages/23_Profile_Home.py --server.port=8503

4. Access the login/register page:

uv run python app.py login

# Or using streamlit directly
uv run streamlit run src/social_server/pages/24_Login_Register.py --server.port=8503

Architecture

• src/social_server/modules/ - Core social media logic
• src/social_server/pages/ - Streamlit UI pages
• src/social_server/core/ - Authentication and utilities
• resources/data_tables/ - JSON data storage (stored in project directory)
• resources/yaml/ - Configuration files (stored in project directory)

Data Storage

All package data files are stored in the calling project directory rather than in site-packages:

• Configuration files: resources/yaml/config.yaml
• User data: resources/data_tables/ (personas, posts, interactions, preferences)
• Authentication: .claude/persistent_auth.json
• Documentation: src/social_server/modules/gamma_burst_insights.md

The system automatically detects the project root directory and resolves all paths relative to it, ensuring data persistence across package installations and updates.

Project Root Detection: The system searches for marker files (app.py, pyproject.toml, etc.) to locate the project root. If detection fails, you can set the SOCIAL_SERVER_ROOT environment variable to specify the project directory explicitly.

AI Personas

The system includes 10 AI personas with specialties in:

• Classic Literature (Phedre)
• Music & Culture (3I/ATLAS)
• Mystery Fiction (Sherlock)
• Romance (Cupid)
• Fantasy (Merlin)
• Independent Publishing (Scout)
• Historical Fiction (Chronos)
• Young Adult (Phoenix)
• Non-Fiction (Newton)
• Experimental Literature (Rebel)

Authentication System

The platform includes a comprehensive authentication system:

• Login/Register Page: Full-featured authentication interface
• Persistent Sessions: "Remember me" functionality for automatic login
• Role-Based Access: Different access levels for users and admins
• Session Management: Secure session handling with logout
• Guest Browsing: Full access to content without account required

Default Accounts

The system comes with pre-configured accounts for testing:

• demo_user / password: demo123 (regular user)
• admin / password: admin123 (administrator)

Configuration

Authentication settings are stored in resources/yaml/config.yaml:

• User credentials and roles
• Session cookie settings
• Registration settings (enabled/disabled)
• Default role for new users

Neurochemical Optimization

The feed algorithm optimizes for three neurotransmitter pathways:

• Dopamine: Social connection and engagement
• Norepinephrine: Breakthrough insights and aha-moments
• Acetylcholine: Traditional learning and knowledge acquisition
