Quick Summary
Starting a new backend project often means repeating the same setup again and again. Setting up folder structure, adding middleware, configuring environment variables — it takes time and breaks momentum. To solve this, I built a CLI tool called exon-cli. It helps scaffold a production-ready Express backend in seconds. Features: Predefined project structure Environment configuration Logging and middleware setup Clean and scalable architecture The goal is simple: save time and follow best practices from the start. So far, it has reached 1900+ downloads on npm. I’m continuously improving it and would love feedback from the community. Check it out here:
