Philosophy

  • Roll your own stack: you pick only the parts you need, nothing extra.
  • Minimal templates: bare-bones scaffolds with zero bloat.
  • Latest dependencies: always use current, stable versions by default.
  • Free and open source: forever.

Quick Start

# Using bun (recommended)
bun create better-t-stack@latest

# Using pnpm
pnpm create better-t-stack@latest

# Using npm
npx create-better-t-stack@latest

  • API: tRPC or oRPC (or none)
