Typus is a production-ready SaaS foundation that lets you focus on business logic while core infrastructure is already in place:
- Authentication — JWT, OAuth, 2FA (TOTP)
- Admin Panel — Vue 3 + TypeScript
- Permissions — CASL roles/abilities
- Plugin Architecture — Extend without touching core
- Auto-generated CRUD APIs — Define model, get API
- Database DSL — Schema-as-code
Your job: Add business logic. Everything else is ready.
