Scaffold anything with Better Fullstack
Pick a frontend, backend, data layer, auth provider, services, and tooling. The CLI writes a working project you own.
npm create better-fullstack@latestNothing installs globally. Your package manager runs the CLI on demand and Node.js 20 or newer is the only requirement. No terminal handy? The Stack Builder composes, previews, and runs projects in the browser.
