The quickest and most efficient way to start new full stack, type safed Solid web app

A create-t3-app clone for SolidStart — run one command and get a scaffolded SolidStart project with optional Prisma, pRPC, Tailwind, and AuthJS. It's squarely aimed at developers who want the T3 stack's philosophy (type-safe full stack, opt-in complexity) but prefer Solid's reactivity model over React.

Uses pRPC (Solid's answer to tRPC) rather than bolting on tRPC directly, so the RPC layer is actually idiomatic for the framework. The addon system is genuinely modular — you get exactly what you select, not a kitchen-sink template you have to gut. Template files are stored as plain .txt stubs rather than being generated programmatically, which makes them easy to read and patch. Changesets + GitHub Actions release workflow means versioning is handled properly for a CLI tool.

Last meaningful activity was early 2025 and the underlying ecosystem (SolidStart, pRPC/mediakit) moves fast — there's real risk the generated scaffold is already behind. Only 26 forks and thin issue traffic means community troubleshooting is thin; if you hit an integration edge case you're largely on your own. No drizzle option, which is where most new Solid projects are landing now that Prisma's edge story is still messy. The README is sparse to the point of being unhelpful — no explanation of what pRPC actually is or why you'd pick it over a REST route.
