Create from a starter in the dashboard (Create and deploy) or with robodev create. These are official create apps.

Catalog

space — Space. Tiny Template planets and aliens APIs plus a Povio UI in apps/fe. Default when stdin is not a TTY. Dashboard create deploys APIs only; CLI create/deploy with frontend set hosts the Tiny SPA.
auth-chat — Auth chat. Tiny chat APIs plus a Povio UI in apps/fe, with invite email. Dashboard create deploys APIs only; CLI create/deploy with frontend set hosts the Tiny SPA.
marketplace — Marketplace. Tiny C2C marketplace APIs plus a local Povio UI in apps/fe. Dashboard create deploys APIs only; CLI create/deploy with frontend set hosts the Tiny SPA.
backend — Backend. Tiny Template planets and aliens APIs — no UI. For Lovable, Bolt, or v0.
empty — Empty. Blank database.ts and GET /api/health — no sample schema or UI. For Lovable, Bolt, or v0.

Space

my-space-app

database.ts                 # defineDatabase (tiny: planets, aliens, media, planet_likes)
api/planets.ts              # GET/POST /api/planets
api/planets/paginate.ts     # GET /api/planets/paginate
api/planets/[id].ts         # GET/PUT/DELETE /api/planets/:id
api/planets/[id]/like.ts    # POST /api/planets/:id/like
api/aliens/labels.ts        # GET /api/aliens/labels
apps/fe/                    # Tiny SPA source (local bun; CLI builds and uploads static output)
.env                        # VITE_API_URL + VITE_PUBLIC_API_URL (written by create/link)
.robodev                    # projectId + API URLs + frontend build block

No committed root index.html. After a CLI deploy with .robodev frontend set, GET / serves the built Tiny SPA. Run bun in apps/fe to iterate locally. Auth stays reserved at /api/user/*. Dashboard create deploys Tiny APIs only; the Tiny FE tree is copied by robodev create.
