• Create app
• Architecture
• Roadmap
• Deployment

• Make sure you have node installed withnode -v. Install Node 24.x. (ie.Volta).
• Ideally you work withgit over ssh.

Donot fork this repo directly. Use the create CLI to get started:

pnpm create @cellajs/cella

You now have an implementation-ready web app 🤯. But ... without any unique functionality 🤓. Read theQuickstart so you can build something unique quickly.

For those that (also) want to participate in development:

git clone git@github.com:cellajs/cella.git&&cd cella

Run your db using a local pglite. Its fast to build and to clean up. Simply removebackend/.db. However, you need to use the full setup to run electric-sync.

pnpm install&& pnpm quick

For a full setup with sync capabilities, you need to run postgres + electric-sync. InstallOrbstack orDocker.

pnpm installpnpm dockerpnpm seed

Start all servers:

pnpm dev

Check it out atlocalhost:3000! Generated API docs can be found atlocalhost:4000/docs. Manage your local db withlocal.drizzle.studio.
