Shadboard is an open-source admin dashboard template built with Next.js 15 and Shadcn/ui components for scalable, user-friendly web apps. It's free for the community to use, learn from, and contribute to.
Shadboard is a Next.js 15 admin dashboard starter kit with shadcn/ui, built-in i18n, NextAuth, and a large set of pre-built pages covering auth flows, settings, and productivity apps. It targets developers who want a head start on an internal tool or SaaS dashboard without assembling all these pieces themselves.
Ships with an unusually complete set of pre-built pages — email, chat, kanban, calendar — not just blank CRUD templates. The tech stack choices are sound: TanStack Table for data grids, React Hook Form + Zod for forms, Recharts for charts; no reinvented wheels. Built-in i18n via the [lang] route segment is implemented at the routing level, not bolted on after the fact. GitHub workflows include commitlint and automated releases, which signals the project is maintained with some discipline.
The database schema (Prisma + SQLite dev.db committed to the repo) is minimal boilerplate with no real data model — you are essentially starting from scratch on the backend anyway. The 'full-kit' subdirectory structure means the repo root is mostly meta-files; navigating to actual source requires two directories of indirection every time. Last push was December 2025, six months ago, which for a project running React 19 and Next.js 15 means it may already be behind on breaking changes. There is no testing setup at all — no unit tests, no e2e, nothing — so the 'scalable' claim in the description is aspirational.
