Build an App

The developer track: how to build a working TinyCloud app, and the two repos it stands on. Start with Getting Started for the runnable golden path, or How Apps Work for the architecture.

Concepts

  • How Apps Work — the full-shape app (frontend + TEE backend + agent, each its own DID) and the one-consent delegation fan-out.
  • Getting Started — install, scaffold from tinyboilerplate, author a manifest, run + verify locally, deploy.
  • tinycloud-app-kit — the app-package contract: manifest v1 schema, knowledge bundle, validation, skills.
  • tinyboilerplate — the runnable substrate: shared packages, app-starter, Notes, agent runtime, scaffold CLI.
