“Why am I still copy pasting the same setup files again and again?”
If you’ve ever asked yourself this after starting yet another web project...
You’re not alone — I’ve been there too.
So I built something to make project bootstrapping painless.
️ Meet create-launcher
A zero-config CLI tool that lets you scaffold modern web projects instantly, with everything pre wired and ready to go.

⚡ Creating a React + TypeScript + Tailwind project in under 30 seconds
Why I Built This
As a dev who loves shipping fast, I kept hitting the same roadblocks every time I started a new project - boilerplate, repeated setup, switching between Vite and Next.js, etc.
Now, with create-launcher, I can:
- Start a project in under 15 seconds
- Have a consistent, clean folder structure
- Focus on writing code, not configuration
