STEREO is a "full stack" tool kit designed to make the process of developing dynamic server-rendered web applications significantly easier and more enjoyable.
While it produces a reliable final product, this configuration focuses on developer velocity, making it easy to provide value quickly without introducing unnecessary technical overhead.

Easy install with composer:

In the new project directory, initialize the .env file and template cache directory:
cd new-project-name

STEREO will work locally with a variety of methods, the simplest being PHP's built-in web server:
php -S localhost:6969 -t public/
There is also conveniently aliased composer script:
composer start
If you're using Tailwind, the watcher script and PHP server can be run concurrently with a single command:
npm run dev
You could also use Herd, which is an excellent tool for local development.
