I built a CLI that scaffolds a full MERN stack in seconds — npx create-quickstack-app

Tired of setting up the same boilerplate every time I started a MERN project.

Same folders, same config, same wiring — 30-45 minutes every time.

Built a CLI to fix that.

npx create-quickstack-app my-app

Spins up Vite + Express + MongoDB + Tailwind, all wired.

Add --auth and you get JWT auth, HTTP-only cookies, protected routes, login/signup pages out of the box.

v1.0.0, solo built. More templates coming.
