Fastest Template

One command. That's the gap between "nothing" and "a running full-stack app."

Create and run

npx @hype-stack/cli create my-app
cd my-app
pnpm dev

When create asks whether to start Docker and run migrations, say yes. It installs dependencies, copies the .env files, boots Postgres, Valkey, and RustFS, creates the tables, and makes the first commit. Open http://localhost:4200. You have the free local app running. Each of those steps is explained in Installation.

Verify

• Frontend loads at http://localhost:4200
• Backend answers at http://localhost:3000/ping
• pnpm typecheck passes from the repo root

What just happened

The CLI scaffolded a monorepo with a backend, a frontend, an admin app, an Expo mobile app, and a browser extension, and wired up Docker for Postgres, Valkey, and object storage. The pnpm dev command starts the servers through Nx, with hot reload on every side.

Start from a finished app instead

create gives you the bare starter. If you would rather begin from something that already looks like a product, install a template. Run it in an empty directory and it scaffolds the project first:

npx @hype-stack/cli template

Templates bring a full skin, extra pages, and the packs that app needs. See Add a Template for what each one includes.

Or pick packs yourself. This gives you the free auth starter and the free layout, and compose scaffolds the project when there is none:

npx @hype-stack/cli compose --packs starter-auth-betterauth,layout-basic

Desktop too

Want the Electron desktop app instead?

pnpm --filter @hype-stack/frontend start:app

Same codebase, native window. Hot reload works here too.
