simpledex

This project was created with Better-T-Stack, a modern TypeScript stack that combines React, TanStack Router, Convex, and more.

Features

• TypeScript - For type safety and improved developer experience
• TanStack Router - File-based routing with full type safety
• TailwindCSS - Utility-first CSS for rapid UI development
• Shared UI package - shadcn/ui primitives live in packages/ui
• Convex - Reactive backend-as-a-service platform
• Oxlint - Oxlint + Oxfmt (linting & formatting)
• PWA - Progressive Web App support
• Turborepo - Optimized monorepo build system

Getting Started

First, install the dependencies:

bun install

Convex Setup

This project uses Convex as a backend. You'll need to set up Convex before running the app:

bun run dev:setup

Follow the prompts to create a new Convex project and connect it to your application.

Copy environment variables from packages/backend/.env.local to apps/*/.env.

Then, run the development server:

bun run dev

Open http://localhost:5173 in your browser to see the web application. Your app will connect to the Convex cloud backend automatically.

UI Customization

React web apps in this stack share shadcn/ui primitives through packages/ui.

• Change design tokens and global styles in packages/ui/src/styles/globals.css
• Update shared primitives in packages/ui/src/components/*
• Adjust shadcn aliases or style config in packages/ui/components.json and apps/web/components.json

Add more shared components

Run this from the project root to add more primitives to the shared UI package:

npx shadcn@latest add accordion dialog popover sheet table -c packages/ui

Import shared components like this:

import { Button } from "@simpledex/ui/components/button";

Add app-specific blocks

If you want to add app-specific blocks instead of shared primitives, run the shadcn CLI from apps/web.

Git Hooks and Formatting

• Format and lint fix: bun run check
