About:
Guppy is a desktop application that provides a visual, beginner-friendly interface for creating, managing, and running React.js projects. It eliminates the need for command-line interaction by offering a GUI for common tasks like dependency management, project scaffolding, and script execution. Its main value is lowering the barrier to entry for new developers and simplifying project workflows for React development.

Key Features:

Visual GUI for managing React projects and dependencies
Integrated task runner for npm/yarn scripts
Project creation wizard and scaffolding
Beginner-friendly error reporting and diagnostics
Real-time project dashboard and status monitoring

Use Cases:

Onboarding new developers to React.js without requiring CLI expertise
Managing multiple React projects and their dependencies through a unified visual interface
Running and monitoring development servers, tests, and builds for React applications

Alternatives:

create-react-app – Official CLI tool for bootstrapping React apps, lacks the persistent visual GUI and project management dashboard of Guppy.
Vite – Modern frontend build tool and dev server with CLI and templates, focused on speed and configurability rather than a dedicated visual management application.
