Install the template, compose an app from surfaces and slices, and ship it.Getting startedInstall the template, understand the layout, ship the first page.
IntroductionWhat this template is, what it is not, and who it is for.
InstallationClone, install, run — and the environment variables you can skip.
Project structureWhere things live and which parts belong to which surface.
Once UI CLICreate a Stack app from the surfaces you pick, without cloning the repo.
CompositionShell, slices and surfaces — how an app is assembled.
Surfaces and slicesThe two units an app is assembled from, and the invariants they hold.
ScaffoldingGenerate a project containing only the surfaces you asked for.
Mobile appsShip the same app to iOS and Android with the mobile target.
API productsSell an API with keys, usage, metered billing, REST and an MCP server.
Desktop appsShip the same app to macOS, Windows and Linux with the desktop target.
SlicesAccounts, teams and billing: the capabilities an app opts into.
GuidesRecipes for the things every project needs.
ThemingChange the look of an app through tokens rather than stylesheets.
Error handlingOne error contract across every API route, and how the UI reads it.
Writing docsAdd a page to this engine, and the components you can use in one.
StorefrontA complete shop UI with no commerce provider bound — and the one function that binds one.
DocumentationThe engine behind these pages: a content directory, nested to any depth, and nothing else.
LandingThe marketing site: a landing page, about, contact, pricing, brand, an MDX blog and the legal pages.
DashboardThe product shell: an org-scoped home, analytics, users and settings behind a workspace switcher.
AI chatAn agent chat that runs on a scripted mock, with two interfaces between it and a real model and database.
EditorA timeline editor's plumbing — projects, panes, a timeline and a preview — with storage behind one interface.
AgencyA studio site with case studies read from the filesystem and a mailto for every call to action.
JournalLong-form reading: books as directories of chapters, with a reading view and optional narration.
SpotlightA link-in-bio page with an essay archive and an Aveiro newsletter form.
