Lite version of the Makerkit SaaS Starter Kit based on Next.js and Supabase
A free, trimmed-down version of the commercial Makerkit SaaS starter. It gives you a Next.js 15 + Supabase monorepo with auth, i18n, Shadcn UI, and basic Playwright tests — enough to have a running authenticated app in an afternoon. The catch is that it exists primarily to sell you the paid version.
The monorepo structure is well-thought-out: app code, feature packages, and UI components are genuinely separated, not just folders with the same coupling. Supabase is wired up properly with local Docker support, migration tooling, and email templates included. TailwindCSS v4 + Shadcn UI gives you a solid, modern component baseline without fighting the defaults. The i18n setup covers both client and server components, which most starters get wrong.
This is a lead-gen artifact, not a complete product — billing, teams, email delivery, analytics, and monitoring are all stripped out and gated behind a paid license, so you will hit that wall fast. The docs are openly incomplete ('still being updated'). No CI/CD pipeline beyond a basic workflow file, and the test suite covers only auth and account pages. Last meaningful push was January 2026, and support is explicitly 'none' — open an issue and hope for the best.
