Introduction to Pure Dev

Pure Dev is a modern web-based IDE designed specifically for building and deploying APIs. With an emphasis on developer experience, it combines the power of TypeScript, Kysely, and Supabase into a seamless development environment.

What is Pure Dev?

Pure Dev is an integrated development environment that runs in your browser, offering:

  • Zero Setup Required: Start coding immediately after signing in with Google
  • Built-in TypeScript Support: Powered by VS Code's engine for a familiar development experience
  • Database Integration: First-class Supabase integration with automatic schema generation
  • Interactive Testing: Built-in API request builder and SQL query logging
  • One-Click Deployment: Deploy your API with confidence using our streamlined workflow

Quick Start

  1. Sign in with your Google account at Pure Dev
  2. Click "Create New API" in the dashboard
  3. Start building with our standard template

Core Technologies

Pure Dev is built on a modern stack:

  • TypeScript: For type-safe API development
  • Kysely: Type-safe SQL query builder
  • Supabase: Database and authentication (recommended)
  • Hono: High-performance API framework

Why Pure Dev?

No Setup Required

Unlike traditional development environments that require extensive setup and configuration, Pure Dev runs entirely in your browser. No local installations, no configuration files, just sign in and start coding.

Integrated Database Experience

When connected to Supabase, Pure Dev automatically generates TypeScript types from your database schema, providing a fully type-safe development experience from database to API endpoint.

Interactive Development

  • Real-time SQL query logging
  • Built-in API request testing
  • Live TypeScript error checking
  • Instant API deployment
