What is it?

Better-T-Stack is a command-line scaffolding tool that generates TypeScript web projects from a set of configurable choices. You pick a frontend framework (such as React with TanStack Router, Next.js, Nuxt, Svelte, Solid, Astro or React Native), a backend (Hono, Express, Fastify, Elysia or Convex), an API layer (tRPC or oRPC), a runtime, a database with its ORM, and an auth option like Better Auth or Clerk.

The generated projects are meant to be minimal, with no extra code beyond the chosen stack, and use current stable dependency versions. Optional addons cover monorepo tooling like Turborepo and Nx, linters such as Biome and Oxlint, docs sites, PWA and desktop shells, and an MCP server. A web Stack Builder can also produce the matching command for a given stack.

Key features

  • 01Pick frontend, backend, API, runtime, database and ORM independently
  • 02Supports tRPC or oRPC for end-to-end type-safe APIs
  • 03Choose Better Auth or Clerk for authentication
  • 04Optional addons for Turborepo, Nx, Biome, Tauri, Starlight and Fumadocs
  • 05Works with Bun, pnpm or npm to run the generator

Use cases

  • Starting a new full-stack TypeScript app with a specific combination of tools
  • Bootstrapping a monorepo with a shared backend and multiple clients
  • Generating a mobile app with React Native alongside a web backend
  • Letting an AI coding assistant scaffold a project through the bundled MCP server

Quick start

  1. 1

    Scaffold a new project with bun (recommended)

    bun create better-t-stack@latest
  2. 2

    Or scaffold with pnpm

    pnpm create better-t-stack@latest
  3. 3

    Or scaffold with npm
