# Environment Variables Configuration

# Get your key from: https://posthog.com/
# If not provided, analytics will be disabled in development
VITE_POSTHOG_KEY=your_posthog_api_key_here

# Development Mode Settings
# Set to 'true' to call the real API in development.

# Notes:
# - Never commit actual API keys or tokens to the repository
# - Use .env.local for local development (already in .gitignore)
# - Production values should be set in Vercel/hosting platform environment settings
# - VITE_ prefix makes the variable available to client-side code (be careful!)
