My Next.js Starter that Ships MVPs in Days

October 4, 2025 · Productivity · 1 min read

Early product work often stalls on setup: authentication, database wiring, rate limiting, email, UI components, analytics. Before users ever touch a feature, teams lose a week assembling foundations. Next Foundry was built to change that — to make “day one” feel like “week three.”

Opinionated Where It Counts

Next Foundry includes production-ready primitives: authentication, relational data access, transactional email, rate limiting, and accessible component building blocks. These are lean defaults, not overengineered abstractions. They guide good decisions without getting in the way.

Integrated Product Surface

Common tools like form validation, charts, URL state, AI hooks, and mapping are prewired but optional. You opt in as needed; nothing forces a full stack. This balance keeps the starter cohesive yet flexible.

Confidence Before Customization

A built-in playground lets you exercise critical flows — authentication, email templates, chart rendering, AI calls — before writing any feature logic. It’s a space to verify that your foundation behaves as expected.

The Impact

What once took a week of scaffolding now takes a single afternoon. The first user can sign in and do something real on day one. That reclaimed time compounds as iteration accelerates.

Next Foundry isn’t about shortcuts; it’s about reducing friction so builders can focus on discovery, feedback, and refinement. Try it: next-foundry.vercel.app
