A React framework for startup founders to test ideas super fast while writing reusable code for their next pivot.

Get Started Immediately

npx create-new-startup YourStartupName

Example

npx create-new-startup PivotJs

Target User

• Your #1 goal is to acquire Paying Customers. You care little about SSR, CSR or RSC lol.
• You aim to write code you can share across projects.
• You've learnt that adding more features won't bring in users. Talking to customers and analytics will.
• You're an indie-hacker who can learn/knows Express, React and Redux.

Style Guide

Disclaimer:

You MUST follow a design pattern to make your code reusable. Don't worry about OOP or functional programming. This guide defines a Directory Structure for reusable components.

Goal:

We aim to ensure entire routes can be reused. Routes are pages.

Every page shares a folder with its components, RTKQuery API calls and Redux states.

Frontend Directory Tree

• Pages - ChosenNamePage Folder ie. "HomePage, LandingPage..." - ChosenName.jsx - UI logic and declare nested routes(if needed) - Components - Stuff like sidebars, navs, forms... - SubPages Folder - Write code for nested routes BUT maintain state in ChosenNameReducer.js and define endpoints in ChosenNameEndpoints.js defined below. - Redux Folder - ChosenNameReducer.js - Redux state management - ChosenNameEndpoints.js - RTKQuery API calls
• Redux Folder - ReduxStore.js - configure Redux store. - ReduxApi.js - ONLY place you write createAPI. Endpoints should be empty
• App.js - Main routes ie. "home...landing...store...etc" defined here
• index.js
  • Redux Provider and CSS variables MUST be defined here

Backend Directory Tree

• WIP

Redux Cheatsheet

• Redux is mostly boiler plate. This framework offers code code completion in VScode.

1. pvtSlice - Generates a Redux slice and and its exports
2. pvtBool - Generates a Boolean initial state variable and true/false reducers
3. pvtList - Generates a List initial state variable and add/remove reducers
4. pvtVar - Generates a general initial state variable. Default is string but can be anything you want
5. pvtAl - Generates a functional component with imports for basic analytics

RTKQuery Cheatsheet

1. pvtApi - Generates an API slice and exports. Only need to run once in a project.
2. pvtInject - Generates an Endpoint Injector for ReduxApi.js
3. pvtPost - Generates a POST mutation and its exports.

4. pvtGet - Generates a GET query and its exports.

Milestones

1. Test on Windows and Mac.
2. Get Listed on Styled-Components website
3. Get listed by the React dev team as a production-grade framework.
