About ProjectForge
ProjectForge is a free, browser-based tool that generates project blueprints for web applications. No backend, no accounts required.
Why this exists
Every new web project starts the same way: pick a framework, choose a database, decide on auth, set up deployment, configure the folder structure. These decisions are repetitive. They are also important, because a bad initial choice can cost weeks of refactoring later.
ProjectForge automates the decision-making part. You answer 26 questions about what you are building, and it generates a complete blueprint: folder structure, database schema, deployment config, CI/CD setup, and a development roadmap.
The tool started as an internal utility for a small team of full-stack developers who were tired of spending the first two days of every project on setup. It was useful enough internally that we decided to make it available to everyone.
What it is and what it is not
It is
- A configuration wizard that produces a project blueprint
- A decision-support tool for choosing tech stacks
- A blueprint exporter for coding assistants
- Free and runs entirely in the browser
It is not
- A code generator that produces application code
- A hosting platform or deployment service
- A project management tool
- A replacement for a developer or architect
Design principles
Runs locally
Project settings are stored locally in your browser by default. If you connect an AI provider like OpenRouter, requests are sent to that provider according to its terms and privacy policy.
Opinionated defaults
The tool makes specific recommendations instead of offering every possible option. You can override any default.
Honest output
The blueprint tells you what it contains and what it does not. No fabricated metrics, no fake statistics.
Currently free
The core browser-based tool is currently free. You only pay for the cloud services you choose to use in your own project.
