🔥 Deno + Hono + JSX + Tailwind App (with Docker)

A fast, minimal, and modern starter template using Deno, Hono, JSX (server & client), and TailwindCSS, bundled with Docker for both development and production.


Development

Use docker-compose for local development:

docker compose up

This sets up everything with:

  • watchexec for live-reloading your client code
  • tailwindcss to rebuild styles on the fly
  • File watching for JSX and CSS

If you don’t use Docker, you’ll need to manually install:

  • tailwindcss
  • watchexec

All client-side code must live inside the /client folder.

Production

Use the default Dockerfile, it already builds the css and the client side js bundle.
