Template-NEXT

Getting tired of setting up the same boilerplate for every Next.js project? Yeah, me too. That's exactly why I built Template-Next - a carefully crafted starter template that includes all the modern tools you actually want to use. This template comes with TypeScript for type safety, Tailwind CSS for clean styling, and Shadcn/ui components that look great out of the box.

The CLI tool lets you clone it directly into your current directory, which has been a game-changer when spinning up multiple projects. I've been using this template for my own work, and it's saved me countless hours of configuration headaches.

Paste this in the terminal and let the CLI do the work for you.

Built on Next.js 14 with TypeScript because typed JavaScript just makes development smoother. Tailwind CSS handles the styling with that utility-first approach, while Shadcn/ui provides beautiful, accessible components ready to use.

Class Variance Authority makes component variants manageable, clsx handles conditional classes cleanly, and tailwind-merge prevents class conflicts. ESLint and Prettier keep the code consistent without being overly strict about formatting choices.

Building Template-Next taught me the value of automation in development workflows. I dove deep into CLI development and learned how to create tools that genuinely make other developers' lives easier. There's real satisfaction in building something that eliminates repetitive setup tasks.

The process pushed me to think carefully about developer experience. Making something work well means considering how it feels to use and whether it actually saves time. Maintaining the template and gathering feedback has made me a better package maintainer.
