the idea
Idea
a batteries-included fullstack NestJS monolith — auth with RBAC, session management, verified emails and ready-made user interfaces, cloned and running in one command.
why this matters to me
Why
Every NestJS app starts the same way — sign-in, sessions, roles, emails. I want one good monolith template instead of re-wiring it each time, with the interface ready the moment it runs: clone it, start it, sign in.
how I would build it
Planned approach
Planned stack — intentions, not facts:
- NestJS
- TypeORM
- PostgreSQL
- React
- Resend
- Docker Compose
the to-do list
Next steps
- Set up the base monolith repository
- Wire auth, RBAC and sessions end to end
- Build the sign-in, workspace and user-management interfaces
- Add transactional email (Resend), i18n and rate limiting; document the choices
