Forge
Forge is the Code Builder foundation from Fozmu Studios — an opinionated, fully-typed starter kit that wires up the parts every web app needs (routing, auth, data access, styling, and deploys) so you can spend your time on the product, not the plumbing.
It is the same base we reach for on client work. We open-sourced it so the developer community can ship at the same pace.
In a hurry?
Jump straight to the Quick Start and have an app running in under two minutes.
Why Forge
Most starters give you a blank canvas and a long TODO list. Forge gives you a running app with the boring-but-critical decisions already made — and documented so you can change them later.
- Typed end to end — strict TypeScript, typed routes, typed env vars.
- Auth that works — session auth and OAuth wired in, no copy-paste.
- One command to ship —
forge deploytargets Vercel, Cloudflare, or Docker. - Escape hatches everywhere — nothing is hidden behind a framework you can't open.
