What problem does it solve?
Provides a ready-made, opinionated fullstack template and workflow so developers don't waste time wiring frontend and backend tooling, routing, data models, and deployment assumptions from scratch. It prevents common sandbox pitfalls (blocked storage APIs, broken path-based routing) and enforces a schema-first approach so frontend and backend types stay consistent.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Pre-wired template: Express backend + Vite + React frontend + Tailwind + shadcn/ui + Drizzle ORM ready to copy and start.
- Opinionated workflow: Schema-first Drizzle model, frontend-first UI with TanStack Query, and backend routes in a single-repo setup.
- Sandbox-safe constraints: Use hash-based routing, avoid localStorage/sessionStorage/indexedDB, and use apiRequest/queryClient for all HTTP calls.
- Use Case: Build dashboards, admin panels, or small SaaS apps that need a quickly deployable dev server with integrated API and typed database models.
Quick Start
Copy the template into a new project, run npm install, and run npm run dev to start the Express+Vite development server.
