Qwik

Introducing Qwik starters - get up and running with Qwik now

December 14, 2021

Written By Miško Hevery

Nothing is more satisfying than playing with code and discovering new things! Yes, it is finally here, npm init qwik for you to try and discover a different way to build web apps that stay lean and performant no matter their size. It is the same technology that is powering builder.io and gets 100/100 PageSpeed.

Qwik starter CLI is a simple starter for you to try experimenting with Qwik first hand and to get a better understanding of just how different it is.

The CLI consist of these four examples, that will be expanded in the near future:

  1. starter: A basic hello world.
  2. starter-builder: A basic hello world integrated with Builder's Qwik API.
  3. starter-partytown: A basic hello world showing how expensive tasks can be run on web-worker with Partytown
  4. todo: A classic TodoMVC application.
