Welcome to ZeroStarter

ZeroStarter is a production-ready SaaS starter template that combines modern web technologies with battle-tested architectural patterns. Built with a monorepo structure, it provides end-to-end type safety, modular packages, and a complete development workflow out of the box.
ZeroStarter is currently in Release Candidate (RC) status. All implemented features are stable and production-ready. We’re actively adding new features and integrations.

Key Features

​
Type-Safe API Client

ZeroStarter uses Hono RPC to provide end-to-end type safety between backend and frontend: 
import { Hono } from "hono"

const app = new Hono()
  .basePath("/api")
  .get("/health", (c) => {
    const data = { message: "ok", version: "1.0.0" }
    return c.json({ data })
  })

export type AppType = typeof app
