### See how [_the exact same_ Medium.com clone](https://demo.realworld.show) is built using different [frontends](https://codebase.show/projects/realworld?category=frontend) and [backends](https://codebase.show/projects/realworld?category=backend)
|
|
|
|
You can combine any frontend with any backend, because **they all adhere to the same [API spec](specs/api/)**
|
|
|
|
While most "todo" demos provide an excellent cursory glance at a framework's capabilities, they typically don't convey the knowledge required to actually build _real_ applications with it — nor the real-world constraints a minimal demo never has to face.
|
|
|
|
**RealWorld** solves this problem by providing the same demo app for each framework, at a sweet spot between simplicity and breadth.

# Implementations
|
|
|
|
Over 100 implementations have been created using various languages, libraries, and frameworks.
|
|
|
|
Explore them on [**CodebaseShow**](https://codebase.show/projects/realworld).
|
|
|
|
## Spec-compliant backends
|
|
|
|
These backends pass the full [API spec test suite](https://docs.realworld.show/specifications/backend/introduction/):
|
|
|
|
- [**Nitro + Prisma + Zod**](https://github.com/realworld-apps/nitro-prisma-zod-realworld-example-app) — TypeScript
|
|
- [**Django Ninja**](https://github.com/c4ffein/realworld-django-ninja) — Python

|
|
- [Documentation introduction](https://docs.realworld.show/introduction/)
|
|
- Every tutorial is built against the same [API spec](specs/api/) to ensure modularity of every frontend & backend
|
|
- A shared [CSS theme](assets/theme/styles.css) is provided to build frontend implementations with identical UI/UX
|
|
- A shared [E2E test suite](specs/e2e/) is available to validate frontend implementations
|
|
- There is a hosted version of the backend API available for public usage at [api.realworld.show](https://api.realworld.show), no API keys required — demo accounts are provided, and real accounts can't see each other
|
|
- There is an angular frontend plugged to this backend available at [demo.realworld.show](https://demo.realworld.show)
