**GenieFramework/Stipple** has received many improvements in the past, which will be announced separately. Today we announce a **[new app template](https://github.com/GenieFramework/StippleDemos/tree/master/AdvancedExamples/GenieTemplate)** that makes webapps

- startable via `using MyApp` with **unprecedented startup times of 5-10s** from zero to the loaded web page

- hostable as packages

- hostable with a new Dockerfile that (finally) supports caching of precompilation

Typical rebuild times shrink from typically 10-20 mins down to 1-5 mins.

More details:

# Draft for a New Genie Template

## Highlights

- Largely reduced TTFX: startup time of \<10s from zero to the the served page via docker, without sysimage compilation!

- New `Dockerfile` and `docker-compose.yml` with cached precompilation!

- New concept: app as a package, start by no more than `using GenieTemplate`, can be hosted on a package server

## Showcases

- self-hosting of Material Icons and Material Symbols of the latest version

- no core\_theme (if you run into styling problems)

- dynamic layout with toolbar and drawer

## Status

The purpose of this template is to develop a new App template and perhaps a layout/template gallery. When this template proves to be reasonable stable and performant, we will think about simplifications in code style.

We are thankful for any feedback!
