Starters

A starter is a complete app to begin from: its spec, real sample records and pictures, and the generated code. Make one with smithable new <folder> --starter <name>, change it with operations or in your own words, or start it without the sample records with --no-sample-data. The pictures below are the starters as smithable new makes them, at desktop width. Each starter also has a page of its own on smithable.ai; all seven are at smithable.ai/starters.

CRM

Customers, deals and follow-ups for a sales team.

The customers list of the CRM starter A customer's page in the CRM starter

For a sales team that keeps track of customers and their orders. It shows records that point at each other (an order's customer, a customer's orders), a formula that works out the shipping cost, a status for each order, an account manager who owns each customer, two roles with different rights, invitations to the team, and a custom action with its own code (merging two customers).

Booking

Classes or appointments people book, like a yoga studio's.

The landing page of the booking starter, Stillwater Yoga The class schedule a visitor sees

For a studio, a teacher or anyone who sells places in classes or sessions. Stillwater Yoga has a landing page with a cover picture, a gallery, a calculator ("would a monthly pass pay off?") and a contact form; a weekly class schedule that visitors can read; bookings with a capacity, so a full class takes no more; instructors with portraits; and a blog in Markdown.

Invoicing

Clients, invoices and payments for a freelancer.

The landing page of the invoicing starter, Invoicely An invoice in the invoicing starter

For a freelancer who sends invoices. Each user sees only their own clients and invoices; an invoice's lines work out their amounts and the invoice its total; the due date follows from the issue date; an overview page sums up what is owed; and a settings page holds the business details printed on every invoice.

Marketplace

Listings people buy and sell, second-hand or handmade.

The catalog of the marketplace starter, Torget An item for sale, as a visitor sees it

For a place where people sell or give away things to each other. Torget's start page is the catalog, with search, filters (category, price, condition) and sorting; each item has several photos; members save the ones they like, keep a page of their own items, and send a seller a message from the item's page. A seller's new item appears once an admin has approved its photos on the Review page.

Status page

Services and incidents, public for your users to check.

The public status page of the status starter, Northwind Status An incident as the team edits it

For a team that tells its users how its services are doing. Northwind Status shows each service's state on a public page with what is going on now, planned maintenance and recently resolved incidents; an incident moves through investigating, identified, monitoring and resolved, with a timeline of updates; and the incident history is public too. Under the services, a section of the starter's own code shows the last 90 days of each one, a bar a day, worked out from the incidents (src/custom/sections/Uptime.tsx, with its test): an example of a section no pattern covers. Uptime monitoring is not built in: the team opens the incidents.

Support desk

Requests that come in by mail, answered by your team in a conversation.

The cases of the support starter, Harbour Support, with their unread messages A case's conversation, with the reply box

For a small team that answers customers by mail. A mail to the support address becomes a case; the acknowledgement carries the case's number in its subject, and a reply to any of the case's mails joins it as a message, found by its headers or by that number. On a case's page its messages read as a conversation, the customer's on one side and the team's on the other, with a reply box that mails the customer from the page; the cases list counts each case's messages and marks those you have not read, with an Unread filter. A case has a priority from 1 to 5 and needs an assignee once it is in progress or closed; agents take a case or give it to a colleague, and the customer's address stays as it came. The mailbox is a setting: on smithable.ai you connect one, self-hosted your own receiver posts to /incoming/support.

Food truck

A menu people order from on their phone, and the orders for your staff.

The menu of the kiosk starter, Kiosken, with its sections and the order bar The orders as the staff see them, with their status and Accept

For a food truck, a café's takeaway or a bakery's pre-orders. Visitors open the menu, grouped by section with a picture and price for each dish, add what they want, and send it with their name and phone; the order gets a number they can say at the hatch. The prices are read again on the server, a dish sold out in the meantime is refused, and outside the opening hours the menu says when it opens. Staff see today's orders, accept, mark them ready and collected, or decline with a reason; the customer is mailed when the order is accepted and when it is ready, if they gave an email. Marking a dish sold out and back is one button. Where the truck stands this week is a page of its own.

Barbershop

Customers book a barber's time; the shop sees its day, a column per barber.

A customer choosing a free time with the barbers starter, Harbour Cuts The shop's day: each barber's appointments in a column

For a barber, a hairdresser, a physiotherapist or anyone whose time is booked by the appointment. A customer signs in with a code by mail, chooses a service and a barber (or anyone), then a day and one of the free times: inside the shop's hours, outside the lunch break and a barber's time off, with ten minutes kept free after each appointment. Two customers taking the same time at once cannot both get it. The shop confirms each request, and the customer is mailed when it is made and when it is confirmed; they can cancel online until 12 hours before. The shop's day shows each barber's appointments side by side, and the week and the month are a click away.

A collection

A catalogue of things with pictures, public to browse: books, plants, wine.

The landing page of the records starter A record in the records starter

The smallest starter: one kind of record and a public page that lists them. A good beginning for a collection, an inventory or anything you simply want to keep and show, and the quickest one to read if you want to see how a spec works.

An API

Records behind an API, for programs and AI assistants. No public pages.

The tasks on the data page of the api starter, Team Tasks Keys on the team page, with a call to copy

An app for programs and AI assistants, with no pages of its own: projects, tasks with a status, a due date and who they are for, and notes, all reached through the API and the tools for assistants at /mcp. Its only screens are the team page, where an administrator makes keys, and a data page for the team. A key with the assistant role reads everything, adds and changes tasks and notes, and deletes nothing; complete and reopen are standard actions. Nothing is public: an assistant's memory is private.
