Overview

Focus on apps, not ops.

Rectangular is a developer-friendly front-end system for building world-class web applications.

It offers the following benefits:

  • An interactive installer
  • A bare-bones application
  • A powerful build toolkit

The installer asks you a few questions and downloads the bare-bones application. Once the application has been installed, it's ready for you to work your magic. Everything is well-organized, configurable and easy to operate. The build toolkit is used to help put everything together.


These goodies are baked into Rectangular:


You can optionally include more goodies during the install process:
