Getting Started
Templates
Get started quickly with Echo using pre-built templates
The easiest way to get started with Echo is to use one of our pre-built templates.
React
The React template is a simple application that uses Vite and echo-react-sdk. Uniquely Echo does not require
a server to make API calls because it handles Oauth directly in the browser.
