# Getting Started

Devframe is a framework-neutral foundation for building a devtool once and running it everywhere: inside any host framework, as a standalone tool, or through a coding agent. See the [Introduction](https://devfra.me/guide) for the full picture, or read [Pluggable, Extensible, and Playful DevTools](https://devfra.me/posts/pluggable-extensible-playful-devtools) for the story behind it.

Devframe provides a lot of features to build DevTools with various needs. It could be overwhelming to start with. Here we have the wizard to help you get started. Answer a few questions about the devtool you want to build and get a reading list tailored to it.

What kind of devtool do you want to build?

Multi-select, check whatever applies (selection persists in localStorage)

What do you expect your tool to work with?

Where do you want to visualize data from?

When is the data available?

How do you want to build the frontend view?

Any specific requirements?

None of this is a required reading order. [`defineDevframe()`](https://devfra.me/guide/devframe-definition) and [the tutorial](https://devfra.me/guide/tutorial-server-data-inspector) are worth reading regardlessly.

Tutorial: Build a Server Data Inspector

Build a devtool that displays and queries live server-side data, then ship it as a hub dock entry, a static build, a standalone dev server, and a CLI.
