Nothing is more satisfying than playing with code and discovering new things! Yes, it is finally here, npm init qwik for you to try and discover a different way to build web apps that stay lean and performant no matter their size. It is the same technology that is powering builder.io and gets 100/100 PageSpeed.
Qwik starter CLI is a simple starter for you to try experimenting with Qwik first hand and to get a better understanding of just how different it is.
The CLI consist of these four examples, that will be expanded in the near future:

todo: A classic TodoMVC application.
