Create Better T Stack
Better-T-Stack is a modern CLI tool for scaffolding end-to-end type-safe TypeScript projects with the philosophy "roll your own stack: you pick only the parts you need, nothing extra." The MIT-licensed tool provides minimal templates with zero bloat, always using current stable dependency versions, offering complete freedom from vendor lock-in.

About
About Better T-Stack
The CLI supports extensive customization including frontend options (React with TanStack Router, Next.js, Nuxt, Svelte, SolidJS, React Native), backend options (Hono, Express, Fastify, Next API Routes, Convex), multiple runtimes (Bun, Node.js, Cloudflare Workers), database integrations (SQLite, PostgreSQL, MongoDB), ORMs (Drizzle, Prisma, Mongoose), optional authentication, and deployment configurations. Built for end-to-end type safety with clean monorepo layouts, Better-T-Stack eliminates the frustration of bloated boilerplates by letting developers create precisely tailored TypeScript projects.
Perfect for full-stack TypeScript applications, monorepo projects, teams requiring type safety across frontend and backend, or any project benefiting from customized scaffolding rather than opinionated starters with unnecessary dependencies.
