🔋 Next.js + Tailwind CSS + TypeScript starter and boilerplate packed with useful development features
A Next.js 14 App Router starter with TypeScript and Tailwind CSS, preconfigured with ESLint, Prettier, Husky, Jest, conventional commits, and a small library of pre-built components. Aimed at developers who want to skip the tooling ceremony and start writing product code. Popular enough (3.4k stars) that its conventions have become a de facto standard in the TypeScript/Next.js community.
The full tooling chain is genuinely well-assembled — ESLint with auto-import sorting, Prettier, Husky with lint-staged, and commitlint all wired together correctly, which most starters half-finish. The CSS variable approach to Tailwind's primary color means you swap one variable and your entire component library recolors, instead of hunting through config. GitHub Actions CI and automatic issue-to-branch creation are small additions that actually save time in team projects. The pre-built components adapt to the primary color without any extra config, so the branding story works out of the box.
The expansion pack — marketed as a one-command way to add React Hook Form, Storybook, etc. — is explicitly outdated for App Router and the author hasn't updated it. You get the advertised surface area minus the convenience. The test directory structure is confused: `src/__tests__/pages/` mirrors the old pages router while the app itself uses App Router, so test organization drifts from app structure immediately. The OG image helper depends on an external service run by the same author with no fallback documented — if that goes down or changes, your OG images break silently. Finally, the pre-built component library is thin enough that any real project will replace it within a week anyway, making that selling point mostly noise.
