Why I built this boilerplate
An evergreen Next.js kit so builders don’t have to rebuild the same foundation again and again.
I’ve built directories, job boards, blogs, and newsletters for years. Each time, I found myself re-creating the same scaffolding just to get to the real work. This boilerplate started as my personal starter—something I could trust for the long term, with the patterns I actually use.
There are a million and one Next.js boilerplates out there. I’ve tried Laravel, Nuxt, and Next templates. They all helped in parts, but I wanted an all-in-one kit that feels cohesive, modern, and practical—without the busywork.
I made a list of all the things that slow me down when starting or maintaining projects: auth, content systems, themes, media, newsletters, jobs, dashboards, and the tiny decisions that add up. This kit pulls those pieces together with sensible defaults and real-world affordances.
Why I chose Next.js (and why it works great with LLMs)
I chose Next.js because it’s stable, fast, and works great with modern tooling—including LLM workflows. The server and client story is solid, the ecosystem is rich, and it scales nicely from a solo project to a serious product. I wanted a foundation I could use for years, not months.
Feature-heavy on purpose, not bloated
This boilerplate is feature-heavy by design, but it isn’t bloated. It’s intentionally organized, easy to prune, and meant to be adapted. Use what you need on day one, and grow into the rest when you’re ready.
Why this isn’t free
Yes, I’m aware there are free templates out there. Many are great—but you still often spend a lot of time wiring things up from the ground up, stitching different pieces, and dealing with the gaps. I wanted a genuinely all-in-one kit that saves time in practice, not just in theory.
Pricing reflects the care, coverage, and long-term vision:
- $99 one-time with 1 year of updates
- $399 one-time with 3 years of updates
I put my heart and soul into this to help builders like me ship faster—without compromising quality.
I hope this is as useful to you as it is to me. I wrote extensive documentation so you can see how everything fits together. Here’s to all the vibe coders—have fun, move fast, and make great things.
