When you are done you have your own copy of an example app, deployed to a Sandbox deployment of your project, with its source in a directory or repository you can change. Every example is open source, in github.com/mdrn-io/examples, one folder each. The examples page lists them with their source and a Deploy this button.
The examples
| Example | Slug | What it is | Products |
|---|---|---|---|
| SaaS starter | saas-starter |
Sign-in, teams and settings. | Auth, Postgres, SQLite, Mail |
| API with file uploads | files-api |
A backend for a web or mobile app: per-user records, uploads and downloads, mail. | Auth, SQLite, Objects, Mail |
| Link shortener | link-shortener |
Short links with sign-in. An AI agent wrote it from one prompt. Its folder keeps the prompt (PROMPT.md) and the agent’s account of the run (BUILT-BY-AN-AGENT.md). |
SQLite |
All three deploy in build mode as they are. Build mode is SQLite only, so the SaaS starter keeps its data in SQLite until the workspace goes live, and in Postgres from then on.
Start from the console
Open the examples page and choose Deploy this on an example. The console signs you in if you are signed out, then shows the example; choose Deploy there to start a project from it. Build mode’s limits apply as to any project (build mode).
https://console.mdrn.io/new?example=<slug>Start from the CLI
init with --example copies the example’s folder into a new directory and drops its history, so the directory starts as your own. Deploy it as in the Quickstart, from step 5.
npx @mdrnio/cli init my-app --example <slug>cd my-app && npx @mdrnio/cli deployThe first deploy creates the deployment and links the directory. A build or a refusal that stops it is explained on Deploy and Error codes.
