Instantly scaffold production-ready React + Go apps

Hey everyone!

Whenever a new side-project or startup idea hits, that initial burst of inspiration usually hits a wall when you have to do the heavy lifting of environment setup.

If your weapon of choice is React on the client and Go (Gin) on the server, you know how tedious it can be to wire them together with Docker, handle CORS, and set up hot-reloading.

I got tired of repeating myself, so I built create-reactgo-app. An open-source CLI tool to spin up high-performance, containerized full-stack apps in a single command.

npx create-reactgo-app@latest my-app
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

What it gives you out of the box:

Batteries Included: Pre-configured React (Vite/Next.js) and Go (Gin) environments.

Docker Ready: A complete docker-compose stack already wired up for local development.

Hot Reloading: Seamless development experience on both ends.

Clean Architecture: A modular project structure that scales easily as your app grows.
