What is Hype Stack

Hype Stack is a production-ready, open-source full-stack template. The free template gives you the source code, local infrastructure, typed API wiring, and app structure for a SaaS-style product.

Who it's for

Solo devs shipping a SaaS. Small teams that don't want to spend the first two weeks on plumbing. Anyone who's started a project and thought "I just want the boring parts done already."

What the template includes

• App structure with backend, frontend, shared packages, and Nx tasks
• Local infrastructure for Postgres and Redis through Docker Compose
• Real-time patterns for WebSocket notifications and live updates
• Dashboard shell with sidebar navigation, settings pages, and team-management UI patterns
• Desktop build setup via Electron, sharing the same React frontend
• Type safety from database to UI with generated SDK wiring
• Error handling with typed error classes and the centralized error middleware

Paid provider integrations, including WorkOS auth, Stripe billing or Sentry, are not included in the free template.

How it's structured

The project is a pnpm monorepo with Nx for task orchestration:

apps/
  backend/    # Hono API server
  frontend/   # React SPA (web + Electron)
packages/     # Shared code (types, utils, configs)

The backend runs Hono on Node with Prisma + Kysely on Postgres and Redis for caching. The frontend uses React with TanStack Router, Tailwind CSS, and HyperFetch for data fetching.
