Next Foundry: A Next.js Starter Kit
A launchpad for modern products with authentication, transactional emails, AI integration, database, and accessible components—engineered to take you from idea to MVP with zero drag.
2025·Productivity
Early product work often stalls on setup: auth, database wiring, email, rate limiting, forms, state, UI system, analytics. Each adds time before anyone can test a core assumption. So I built Next Foundry, a production-ready starter kit for modern apps, to make “day one feel” like “week three”.
Core foundations include:
- Authentication with Better Auth
- Database (PostgreSQL + Prisma + Accelerate)
- Transactional emails via Resend
- Rate limiting with Upstash Redis
- Accessible UI Components from Shadcn/UI
Additional integrations:
- Form validation with React Hook Form + Zod
- URL state management via Nuqs
- Date handling with Day.js
- Data visualization with Recharts
- Animations via Motion
- Interactive maps through Leaflet
- AI integration with Vercel AI SDK
A built-in visual playground allows developers to test each integration in isolation, ensuring confidence in the foundations before scaling.
Impact
Next Foundry transforms weeks of boilerplate setup into a launch-ready environment, enabling developers to focus on solving core business problems instead of wrestling with infrastructure.
