Next Foundry: A Next.js Starter Kit
A production-ready Next.js starter focused on shipping speed: authentication, data, email, UI foundations, and AI integrations that remove setup drag before real product work begins.
2025·Productivity
Early product work often stalls in setup mode: auth, data wiring, email, rate limiting, forms, state, and UI structure. Each dependency delays validation of the actual product idea. I built Next Foundry to front-load those decisions so teams can start from a stable baseline and reach meaningful experiments faster.
Core foundations:
- Authentication with Better Auth
- Database (PostgreSQL + Prisma + Accelerate)
- Transactional emails via Resend
- Rate limiting with Upstash Redis
- Accessible UI Components from Shadcn/UI
Extended 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 with 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 reduces boilerplate setup into a repeatable baseline, so teams can spend more time on product logic and less on foundational wiring. The practical value is faster iteration with fewer early-stage integration regressions.
