+# Electron & Tauri React/FastAPI Boilerplates
+
+Two bootstrap scripts that generate a React (Vite) + FastAPI + SQLite stack, one packaged with Electron and one with Tauri.  
+Good for creating Full Stack web applications, with a Python backend, especially good for the use of machine learning models, a SQLite Database for maximum portability and readability, and a JavaScript frontend, for the best UI / UX designs possible.  
+
+## Scripts
+- `electron_boilerplate.sh` – scaffolds Electron + React + FastAPI, installs deps, and launches the app. Includes a `run.sh` helper in the generated project to start backend, Vite dev server, and Electron together.
+- `tauri_boilerplate.sh` – scaffolds Tauri + React + FastAPI, installs deps, and launches the app. Generated `run.sh` starts the backend and `tauri dev`.
+
+## Requirements
+- Node.js and npm
+- Python 3 with venv support
+- For Tauri: Rust toolchain (`cargo`) and platform-specific Tauri prerequisites
+
+## Usage
+```bash
+./electron_boilerplate.sh [project-name]
+./tauri_boilerplate.sh [project-name]
+```
+- If no name is provided, the script prompts for one (letters, numbers, `_`, `-`).
+- Scripts create backend venv, install backend/frontend deps, then auto-run the app.
+- Generated projects include:
+  - FastAPI backend with SQLite, REST + WebSocket, `uvicorn --reload`
+  - React + Vite frontend with ESLint and WS demo
+  - README and `run.sh` for one-command dev start
+- Electron window title uses the project name; Tauri window/product name and identifier use the project name.
