## What it is
create-universal-app (CUA) is an opinionated monorepo template for building full-stack universal apps that share code between Expo (mobile) and Next.js (web), using tRPC, Prisma, Tamagui, and Clerk auth. The repository is explicitly no longer actively maintained.

## Use cases
- scaffold a fullstack app with shared code between react native and next.js
- start a mobile and web app from one codebase with auth built in
- bootstrap an expo and next.js monorepo with tRPC and prisma
- create a universal app with tamagui and solito
- set up clerk authentication for both mobile and web
- kickstart a typescript fullstack universal app template

## When to choose
- you want a proven starting point for an Expo + Next.js codeshare app with tRPC, Prisma, and Clerk auth already wired up
- you are okay pinning to the 2023 dependency versions and maintaining upgrades yourself
- you want to study how a universal monorepo (packages/app, packages/ui, packages/db) is structured

## When to avoid
- you need an actively maintained template with current dependency versions and security patches
- you prefer different choices for auth, ORM, or styling than Clerk, Prisma, and Tamagui
- you want a minimal unopinionated starter rather than a heavily opinionated structure
- you need production support or timely bug fixes from maintainers
