Introduction
Hypersonic.js is a full-stack TypeScript framework inspired by Django's "batteries included" philosophy. One installation gives you a production-ready Express backend, a React frontend with Inertia.js, Prisma ORM, and Better Auth — all pre-wired and type-safe end to end.
Philosophy
Most TypeScript stacks require you to glue together six or seven packages yourself, figure out how they interact, and maintain that wiring forever. Hypersonic takes the opposite approach: make the common case zero-config and keep everything in one cohesive layer.
You write controllers (Express route handlers), views (React components), and a Prisma schema. The framework handles the rest.
