Fastest Template

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

Prerequisites

• Node.js 20+
• pnpm 9+
• Docker (for local Postgres and Redis)

Create and run

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

Start Postgres and Redis:

docker compose up -d

Copy environment files and run migrations:

cp apps/backend/.env.example apps/backend/.env
cp apps/frontend/.env.example apps/frontend/.env
pnpm --filter @hype-stack/backend prisma:migrate

Start everything:

pnpm dev

Open http://localhost:4200. You have the free local app running.

What just happened

The CLI scaffolded a monorepo with two apps (backend + frontend) and wired up Docker for Postgres and Redis. The pnpm dev command starts both servers through Nx, with hot reload on both sides.

Desktop too

Want the Electron desktop app instead?

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

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