Introduction

Tulip is a modular framework for building unified business systems with React and Next.js.

Use this section before jumping into package reference. It gives you the product mental model first, then points you to the right technical path.

Start with the story

Tulip is built around one idea: build the parts of your business system that make you unique, integrate the platforms that already work, and make the whole experience feel like one product.

That means the docs are not just a list of packages. They should help you answer four questions:

• What is Tulip?
• Who is Tulip for?
• How do the packages fit together?
• Should I follow the starter path or the advanced path?

Where this leads

After this section, most users should continue with one of these routes:

• New app: start with Create App, then Core, UI, Query, and Data Tables.
• Existing app: install the package that matches the surface you are building.
• Product team: browse Recipes inside package sections to see complete workflow patterns.
• Heavy user: use the package docs as references for entry points, types, providers, and gotchas.
