Press — Digital Magazine Issues

A magazine that ships in issues — a real, buildable Hanzo app you fork on hanzo.app and deploy live on Hanzo Cloud.

Editors curate numbered issues; each has a cover story and department sections across features, dispatch, interview and essay. Readers open an issue and move between its pieces.

• UI — @hanzo/gui (the Hanzo design system) under Vite + React 19. Bold magazine language: a masthead bar, oversized display type, a black/white/one-hot-red palette, two-column feature layout with a hanging pull-quote. No Tailwind, no second kit.
• Auth — @hanzo/iam, OAuth2 PKCE against hanzo.id. No local passwords.
• Data — @hanzo/base, the IAM-native, org-scoped data plane. Issues and articles are real Base collections, provisioned from schema.sql.

The three views

View	What it is
Newsstand	Every issue as a cover, newest first. Compose a new numbered issue; publish or keep it a draft.
Issue contents	The cover story up top, then department sections. File new pieces into the issue.
Article read	The feature layout: kicker, oversized headline, standfirst, a hanging pull-quote, and the body set in two columns.

Stack (pinned)

Package	Version
react / react-dom	^19.2.4
@hanzo/gui + @hanzogui/config	7.3.0
@hanzo/iam	^0.13.1
@hanzo/base	^0.2.1
vite	^6 (@vitejs/plugin-react)
typescript	5.9.3

Run it

npm install
npm run dev        # http://localhost:5173
npm run build      # tsc --noEmit && vite build  ->  dist/
npm run preview    # serve the production build (SPA fallback on)

Out of the box it runs against live Hanzo (hanzo.id + api.hanzo.ai) — no config needed to see the cover and sign-in flow. Copy .env.example to .env to point at a different environment.

Environment contract

Only VITE_-prefixed vars reach the browser (this is a static SPA — there is no server). Defaults in parentheses.

Var	Purpose
VITE_HANZO_IAM_URL (https://hanzo.id)	OIDC issuer.
VITE_IAM_CLIENT_ID (hanzo-app)	IAM application (<org>-<app>). Per-app clients are provisioned at deploy; hanzo-app is the shared fallback. Its redirect-URI list must allow this deploy's /auth/callback.
VITE_HANZO_REDIRECT_URI (${origin}/auth/callback)	PKCE redirect.
VITE_HANZO_BASE_URL (https://api.hanzo.ai)	Browser-reachable Hanzo Base data plane. Deploy injects the provisioned URL.

How auth works — ambient IAM

login() starts an OAuth2 PKCE S256 redirect to hanzo.id; hanzo.id returns to /auth/callback, where handleCallback() exchanges the code for tokens (stored in localStorage, refresh-aware via offline_access). Every deployed app is a static site at <slug>.hanzo.app; there is no server token — the SPA authenticates the user in the browser and carries the resulting IAM JWT to Base.

The one deploy requirement: the IAM client (VITE_IAM_CLIENT_ID) must list this origin's /auth/callback as an allowed redirect URI. Register a https://*.hanzo.app/auth/callback wildcard on the shared client so every forked app works, or register a dedicated hanzo-<app> client per template.

How data works — Base from schema.sql

schema.sql is the app's databaseSchema (SQL DDL). On publish, Hanzo Cloud translates each CREATE TABLE into a Hanzo Base collection (provisionBaseFromDDL, additive + idempotent). Base manages id/created/updated/owner/org, stamps owner+org from the verified IAM principal, and scopes every row to the caller's org via @request.auth.org_id = org — a teammate in your org sees the row; other orgs cannot. At runtime the views read/write issues and articles through @hanzo/base/react (useQuery/useMutation) carrying the IAM token.

Deploy — Hanzo Cloud

hanzo.yml declares a static build (npm run build → dist/, served at <slug>.hanzo.app) plus the Base schema to provision and the env to inject. Do not build a container image locally — Hanzo Cloud owns builds and deploys. CI here only proves the template compiles green.
