The batteries-included TanStack Start starter for server-rendered React apps, with a token-driven design system, dashboard shell, tRPC and oRPC, typed GraphQL via gqlkit, Drizzle and PostgreSQL.

Clone the repo, then follow its README's short path:

pnpm install
cp .env.example .env      # set DATABASE_URL (+ INTERNAL_KEY)
task db:push             # push the Drizzle schema
task dev:guard           # or: pnpm dev → http://localhost:3000

Highlights from the README

Token-driven design system — control density (height, padding, font) and the full color palette are CSS variables in one file. Change one token and the whole UI rescales; flip a class and the whole app re-themes. No component-by-component restyling.
Two RPC layers, side by side — the same CRUD implemented in both tRPC v11 and oRPC, plus a typed GraphQL SDK via gqlkit. Keep the one you like, delete the rest.
A real dashboard shell — fixed sidebar, PageHeader, Surface, StatusBadge, user menu, and a FOUC-safe theme toggle. Not a hello-world layout.
34 UI components from basecn (Base UI), tuned to a compact, consistent density — not stock shadcn spacing.
Typesafe everything — routes, RPC, forms, env, and per-route document titles are compile-checked.
Demo isolation — the entire showcase is quarantined under /demo, so removing it leaves a clean foundation.
