The Ultimate Open Source Starter Kit

This is a submission for the Neon Open Source Starter Kit Challenge : Ultimate Starter Kit

My Kit

My starter kit is built using:

  • Neon.tech for the PostgreSQL Database (Serverless Version)
  • Next.js (App Router)
  • Lucia Auth for Authentication
  • Light / Dark Mode
  • Bun
  • Vercel for Hosting
  • ShadCN for UI Components
  • Tailwind CSS for Styling
  • Typescript

I developed this starter kit to provide a hassle-free foundation for launching your SaaS quickly. All you need to do is customize the styling. It also includes a blog feature integrated with MDX for seamless content management.

You can find the repository here! Just click the button that says "Use this template" and take a look at the README.md to get started!

Your Journey

I chose this stack, centered around Neon.tech, because it offers a modern, scalable solution that aligns with the needs of today's developers. Neon.tech's serverless Postgres database provides a robust backend while maintaining flexibility and efficiency. I also chose to use Next.js since it brings versatility and efficiency to the frontend with its hybrid static and server-side rendering capabilities.

Throughout this process, I gained a deeper understanding of serverless architecture and just how easy it is to get up and running with Neon.tech and Next.js.

I hope you enjoy this starter kit and I can't wait to see what you build!
