Build me a testimonial collection and display tool like Senja. Requirements:
- A public /submit page: name, role/company, avatar upload (or auto-fetch from a
provided URL), star rating, and the testimonial text. Store submissions in SQLite
with an approved flag defaulting to false.
- An /admin page (basic-auth from .env) listing submissions with approve/delete
buttons · nothing shows publicly until approved.
- A public /wall page: masonry grid of approved testimonials, clean cards with
avatar, name, stars, and text. Mobile-friendly, dark mode support.
- An embeddable widget: /embed.js renders the wall into any page via one script
tag + a div, iframe-free, styled to inherit the host page's font.
- Image uploads resized server-side to 128px avatars, stored on disk.
- Node or Python, single small server, deploy instructions for a VPS.The prompt opens pre-filled in your agent. Review it before running.
