The aria create-app was created for two hackathons. This is a fork of the t3-create-app https://github.com/t3-oss/create-t3-app turned into an AI agent that follows community standards and baseline for referencing "good tech".

The goal is to create a proof-of-concept scaffolder that uses AI to accomplish the opinionated side of things. This is my first time working with a CLI and also not something I am entirely familiar with, nonetheless, the goal of a hackathon (in my opinion) is to learn and try out new ideas.

I would not expect this project to be anywhere near perfect but it's a fun idea to me and solves a problem of getting a project started.

t3-create-app is something I recently started using for projects and loves that it scaffolded my project so well, however, I did find myself wanting more. Wanting to be able to use this for a bunch of common app-styles and aggressively googling what community standards there are.

I, like most developers, want the shiny thing, I want the newest best tool set for the job. But, I am absolutely tired of watching videos telling me why xyz tech stack is the greatest thing for my next project. I just want to get started on learning. In my view, self-projects are all about learning tools and AI can help you get to that state faster. With that said, there is also some merit to learning about the tech-stacks and WHY they are good for the job. I would love for this project to expand in that direction as well. Not just a, "hey here's this stack, now use it," but more on the side of learning why it is better than alternatives.

As a part of my research at Georgia Tech, I have been finding that most AI agents also struggle to address constructive criticism which damages the brainstorming process. This is a frustrating personal experience where LLMs like Gemini will tell me everything I say is the best when I'd rather have an LLM provide critical thinking on why I am correct or (in most cases) wrong.

To scaffold an app using create-aria-app, run any of the following four commands and "talk" to the agent:

npm - I'll be lucky if this works by the end of the hackathon...

npm create aria-app@latest

I'd love to have contributors BUT this project was created for two hackathons and I cannot/will not accept contributors until after that!

I have maintained the original contributor graph because this project would be nothing without the original create-t3-app!
