## What's Covered
**Applications Powered by Node.js:**
- ✅ **Full-Stack Web Apps** - React, Next.js, Vite with Node.js backend
- ✅ **Mobile Apps** - React Native with Expo (iOS/Android) + Node.js backend
- ✅ **Native Desktop Apps** - Electron, Tauri with JavaScript/TypeScript
- ✅ **Simple POCs** - Plain HTML/CSS/JS served by Node.js or static
- ✅ **APIs & Backend Services** - Express, NestJS, Fastify, tRPC
- ✅ **Real-Time Apps** - WebSocket, Socket.io on Node.js
- ✅ **Serverless Functions** - Node.js on Vercel, AWS Lambda, Cloudflare Workers
**Tech Stack Focus:**
- **JavaScript/TypeScript** exclusively (no Python, Go, Java, etc.)
- **Node.js runtime** for all development, testing, building, and deployment
- **React preferred** for web UIs (but supports any JS framework)
- **React Native preferred** for mobile (but supports alternatives)
- **Modern tooling** optimized for Node.js ecosystem (Vite, Turborepo, Biome)

## 📁 File Structure (Optimized for AI Agents)
**Every file follows this structure:**
```
1. Quick Reference (at top)
├─ Start Here: Top 3-5 recommendations with star counts
├─ Decision Tables: Quick comparisons (Need | Choose | Why)
└─ When to Choose: Clear selection criteria
2. Detailed Content
├─ Categories with ⚡ ESSENTIAL markers
├─ GitHub links + star counts
└─ Use cases + "Why Essential" explanations
3. Ending: *Part of octocode-mcp resources collection*
```
**Why This Structure:**
- **Quick Reference first** = Instant answers for AI agents
- **Decision tables** = Fast comparisons without reading full content
- **No duplication** = Efficient token usage
- **Consistent format** = Easy parsing for AI models

## 🤖 AI Agent Usage
**How to use these resources:**
1. **Match user question** → Find appropriate file from Quick Selection Guide
2. **Read Quick Reference** → Get instant top picks and decision tables
3. **Use decision tables** → Compare options without reading full details
4. **Reference detailed content** → Deep dive when needed for specific requirements
**Example queries:**
- "Create a new project fast?" → boilerplate_cli.md → npx create-t3-app@latest
- "Best state management?" → frontend-libs.md Quick Reference → Zustand + TanStack Query
- "Which framework?" → fullstack-frameworks.md → Next.js 15 (95% of projects)
- "Authentication solution?" → auth.md → NextAuth.js or Passport.js

## 📱 Mobile & Native Applications (2025)
### React Native Mobile Stack (Preferred)
All mobile development powered by Node.js toolchain:
```
Frontend: React Native + TypeScript
State: Zustand + TanStack Query
Backend: tRPC + NestJS/Fastify (Node.js)
Database: Prisma + PostgreSQL
Build: Expo (EAS Build) - Node.js CLI
Testing: Jest/Detox - runs on Node.js
```
**Key files:** frontend-libs.md, project-examples.md (T3 Turbo), backend.md, auth.md, testing.md
### Desktop Applications
**Electron** (frontend-libs.md) - Build cross-platform desktop apps with JavaScript/TypeScript
**Tauri** (frontend-libs.md) - Lightweight alternative with web frontend + Rust backend
### Simple POCs & Static Sites
**Plain HTML/CSS/JS** - Traditional web development, served via Node.js or static hosting
**Vite** (fullstack-frameworks.md) - Fast dev server for simple projects
