New to this? No problem. You'll have AI guiding you the entire way. Choose your editor below and follow the steps.

Choose Your Editor

We recommend the Gallop AI Editor for the best experience with Gallop templates — whether you're a beginner or an advanced Next.js developer who wants AI-assisted development. It was purpose-built for this workflow and requires zero configuration. VS Code is also a fine choice if you prefer to work without AI assistance.

Option A: Gallop AI Editor (Recommended)

The Gallop AI Editor is a desktop app built specifically for AI-powered web development for Next.js. It includes everything you need — code editor, AI assistant, Git, terminal, media manager, font manager, SEO & structured data scanner, and a template marketplace — all in one window with nothing to configure.

Available for Mac and Windows.

Step 1: Install Gallop AI Editor

1. Go to gallop.software and download the installer for your platform
2. Open the installer and follow the prompts
3. Launch the Gallop AI Editor
4. If prompted, the editor will walk you through installing Node.js automatically — just follow the on-screen steps

Step 2: Open This Template

From the built-in template marketplace:

1. Click the Templates tab in the sidebar
2. Find Speedwell and click Clone
3. Choose a folder on your computer (like your Desktop)
4. The editor will download and set up the project for you

Or from a ZIP download:

1. Click the green Code button at the top of this GitHub page, then click Download ZIP
2. Unzip the folder somewhere easy to find (like your Desktop)
3. In the Gallop AI Editor, click Open Project and select the unzipped speedwell folder

Step 3: Start the Dev Server

1. Click the Terminal tab at the bottom of the editor
2. Click Install to install dependencies, then click Start to run the dev server
3. Open http://localhost:3000 in your browser to see your site

Step 4: Chat with AI

Click the AI Chat panel (or press Cmd+E on Mac / Ctrl+E on Windows) to open the AI assistant. Now just ask:

I'm new to this. Help me customize this website for my business.

The AI assistant can read and edit your project files, run commands, and explain anything you're confused about. Just describe what you want in plain English:

Change the homepage heading to Welcome to My Bakery

Make the accent color pink

Add a new page called Services

Optimize the SEO on my homepage

Tip: Press Cmd+Ctrl+3 (Mac) to take a screenshot of your running site and attach it to the chat. The AI can see exactly what you see and suggest changes visually.

Option B: VS Code

VS Code is a good choice if you prefer to work without AI assistance. You'll need to install a few things manually.

Step 1: Install Prerequisites

1. Install VS Code
2. Install Node.js (version 20 or higher)
3. Install Git

Step 2: Download This Template

Click the green Code button at the top of this GitHub page, then click Download ZIP. Unzip the folder somewhere easy to find (like your Desktop).

Step 3: Open in VS Code

1. Open VS Code
2. Click File → Open Folder
3. Select the unzipped speedwell folder
4. Click Open

Step 4: Install and Run

Open the terminal in VS Code (Ctrl+`` on Mac/Windows) and run:

npm install
npm run dev

Open http://localhost:3000 to see your site. Press Ctrl+C to stop the server.

Step 5: Start Building

Edit files directly in VS Code. Refer to the Project Structure and Available Scripts sections below for guidance.
