description: Three production-ready templates — FastAPI backend, React 19 web frontend, and Expo mobile app — pre-wired to talk to each other. Auth, Docker, type-safe API clients, RBAC, and CI/CD included. Just clone and ship.

tags: webdev, python, react, reactnative

We've all been there. You have a great app idea. You sit down, open a blank terminal, and immediately lose two days configuring auth, wiring up CORS, generating API clients, setting up Docker, choosing a linting strategy, and arguing with yourself about folder structure. The idea hasn't even started yet.

That setup tax is real, and it compounds across every project.

This post introduces a three-repository boilerplate ecosystem built for the way modern teams actually ship: a FastAPI backend, a React 19 web frontend, and an Expo mobile app — all pre-configured, pre-connected, and ready to clone. Whether you're building a SaaS, a hackathon project, or a production internal tool, this stack gets you to your first meaningful feature commit in under an hour.
