Launch a production-ready SaaS starter template with built-in tooling
This is an open-source starter template for shipping a Next.js app faster, aimed at developers who want a solid baseline before adding their own product UI and features. It gives you a structured project that works with both the App Router and the Pages Router, so it can fit new builds or incremental migrations. The stack is TypeScript-first and integrates Tailwind CSS for styling. Beyond the UI layer, it includes a ready-to-use authentication flow and a database setup so you can prototype real app behavior early. It also comes with a testing toolchain and sensible SEO defaults to help you ship with confidence.
What's included
- App Router and Pages Router project structure
- Sign up and sign in pages wired to an authentication provider
- Password reset flow (forgot/reset password screens)
- Database layer using Drizzle ORM with a local database option
- SEO-ready head metadata setup with Open Graph and JSON-LD support
- Sitemap.xml and robots.txt generation
- Storybook configuration for building and reviewing UI components in isolation
Ideal for
- SaaS starter projects that need auth and persistence on day one
- Product prototypes where you want a real login flow quickly
- Teams standardizing a Next.js codebase and dev workflow
- Apps that require automated testing from unit to E2E
- Multi-language apps using an i18n-ready foundation
Tech & compatibility
The template targets Next.js 16+ and TypeScript, and it’s designed to be flexible: keep the pieces you need and remove what you don’t. Authentication is pre-integrated via Clerk, and the data layer uses Drizzle ORM with support for common SQL databases (including PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQLite), plus a local-first setup for development. For quality gates, it includes Vitest and Playwright, and provides linting/formatting plus commit-message tooling to keep a team workflow consistent.
Requirements
- Node.js 22+ is recommended in the documentation, and the repository specifies Node >= 20 in package settings.
