koa-boilerplate VS realworld

With typeorm I can't do even basic things without query builder, and it's query builder is very verbose. For example, (this is not my code, just example): https://github.com/eflem00/koa-boilerplate/blob/98265346877a30f3595baf6f574726078b2b6c54/src/controllers/ArticleController.ts - I have very similar code on current project, have to use query builder, define return types manually, awfully not readable

Just thought I'd post my implementation of a RealWorld example app since it finally got put on their list. https://github.com/eflem00/koa-boilerplate It is a boilerplate configuration of Koa, TypeScript and TypeORM among other things to build a rest api that conforms to the RealWorld specs. It has many cool features, from being dockerized, implementing jwt auth and user credential encryption, to having a real integration test and CI/CD configuration.

It's just for web app (a Todo app). Your GIS AND CLI ideas are interesting, I haven't seen anything similar to realworld for those.

So what would be a better benchmark? Perhaps a "standard" "real world" app, like https://github.com/gothinkster/realworld

Or something simpler?

RealWorld example app is a full-stack application called "Conduit" that consists of a backend that serves JSON API and a frontend UI. There are numerous implementations for different languages and frameworks, but in this tutorial you will be using the Spring backend and the React frontend.

Github has millions of projects, some large fraction with more than 100 stars, so it doesn't seem like you are searching very hard. But more importantly, why "100 stars"? Stars are meaningless and arbitrary. Many developers use stars like bookmarks. I just did a quick search and noticed a project like realworld (just a demo for learning, 65 contributors) has have more stars than Bitcoin (900+ developers, perhaps you have heard of it?)

I feel you, context API sometimes overcomplicates everything. Let me introduce to you RealWorld. It is a great project that uses composition to make its structure scalable. It is actually a codebase that implements various fragments of a larger scale project such as Medium or Twitter. Check it out here: https://github.com/gothinkster/realworld. I hope this helps!
