Genesis

Genesis is a hyperdrift app creation tool that generates complete web applications from a single prompt. Inspired by Tonk.xyz but streamlined for simplicity and effectiveness.

🌟 What is Genesis?

Genesis automates the entire process of web application creation by:

Using a single prompt to understand your requirements
Generating a complete, ready-to-run application with the right tools and configurations
Providing intelligent defaults that make sense
Including built-in rules and instructions for AI-assisted development

🚀 Key Features

Single Prompt App Creation: Generate full applications from a simple description
Production-Ready Setup: All configuration is done for you
AI-First Development: Built-in LLM rules for continued development with AI assistants
Simplified Architecture: No unnecessary complexity or dependencies
Modern Stack: React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, and Supabase (optional)

🛠️ Installation

Global Installation

You can install Genesis globally to use it from anywhere:

pip install -e git+https://github.com/yannvr/genesis.git#egg=genesis

After installation, you'll have access to the genesis command globally:

genesis my-app --description "A blog application" --functionality "Users can create posts with tags"

Development Installation

For contributing to Genesis or running from source:

git clone https://github.com/yannvr/genesis.git
cd genesis
pip install -e .

Using a Virtual Environment (Recommended)

It's recommended to use a virtual environment for development to isolate your dependencies:

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/yannvr/genesis.git
cd genesis

# Set up virtual environment (automatically uses Python 3.8+ if available)
./setup_venv.sh

# Activate the virtual environment
source venv/bin/activate

# Now you can use the genesis command from this environment
genesis --help

# When you're done, deactivate the environment
deactivate

🛠️ Usage

Once installed, you can create new applications:

genesis my-app

The CLI will prompt you for a description of your application. That's it!

You can also provide description and functionality details directly:

genesis my-app --description "A task management app" --functionality "Users can create tasks, assign them to others, and track progress"

A highly DX friendly boilerplate will be created with initial typings. It doesn't not generate the app. The app is meant to generate most of the APP (UI, stores and behaviour) on the second prompt. The second prompt can be the same one as the first one (ie: Users can create tasks, assign them to others, and track progress)

🤖 AI-Assisted Development

It is best used from AI assisted IDE like:

Cursor
WindSurf

These rules help AI tools understand your codebase and make intelligent suggestions that align with your project's architecture and goals.
