A modern Next.js starter template, supercharged with powerful tools and built to skip the boilerplate + start building faster.

This template is bootstrapped with create-t3-app and fine-tuned with an opinionated stack:

🔗 tRPC – End-to-end type safety for your API, without the GraphQL overhead

🔐 BetterAuth – Seamless, secure authentication that just works

🧠 Drizzle Orm – A modern, type-safe ORM for working with Postgres

🧩 Shadcn UI + Tailwind CSS – Beautifully designed, fully customizable components out of the box

I built this template to save myself from endlessly tweaking create-t3-app outputs — huge thanks to Theo and the T3 team for building such a solid foundation. Now, this is my go-to starting point for any full-stack project.

This repo is a GitHub template repository, so you can use it as a starting point for your own project!

To use this template

1. Click the "Use this template" button at the top of the repo
2. Choose "Create a new repository"
3. Clone your new repo locally
4. Set up environment variables (see .env.example)
5. Install dependencies & run the dev server!

You're now ready to start building with a full-stack, type-safe Next.js setup!

Note: this project now uses pnpm as the default package manager!

pnpm dev

Open http://localhost:3000 with your browser to see the result.

You can start editing the page by modifying app/page.tsx. The page auto-updates as you edit the file.

This project uses next/font to automatically optimize and load Geist, a new font family for Vercel.
