Turbine is the ultimate
>>> Turborepo
starter app for Next.js,
Expo, and Express
Accelerate your development with Turbine's cross-platform, seamless integration of user authentication, subscription payments, and a robust back-end powered by Postgres & Redis.
Hey there! I'm Josh Dickson, a seasoned full-stack developer and the mind behind Turbine. Over five years, I've led the software development of a successful daily fantasy sports startup, scaling our mobile and web platforms to serve hundreds of thousands of users.
Through this journey, I learned a vital lesson: the right technical foundation is crucial from day one. Initially, most teams can deliver quickly, but as the project expands and evolves, maintaining that speed becomes a challenge.
Recognizing the difficulties of setting up foundational elements under the pressure to deliver, I embarked on creating a solution. When I couldn't find a comprehensive cross-platform starter application, I decided to build one myself.
Introducing Turbine – a robust cross-platform starter application designed to help you hit the ground running. It's not just a collection of tools like Next.js, Expo, Node, Express, Postgres, and Redis. It's a culmination of real-world experience, designed to set a strong foundation for your project's long-term success.
My ambition with Turbine is to provide a platform that not only accelerates your development process but also ensures a sustainable and scalable future for your software applications.
