This starter kit provides a comprehensive foundation for building SaaS applications with Next.js 15, Tailwind CSS, and TypeScript. It targets developers aiming for rapid development of feature-rich, production-ready web applications, offering integrated solutions for authentication, real-time data, and payments.

How It Works

The kit leverages Next.js 15's App Router for a modern, file-system-based routing approach. It integrates Clerk for robust authentication, Convex DB for real-time data and file storage, and Polar.sh for subscription management. Shadcn/ui provides a library of accessible, customizable components, enhancing developer experience and UI consistency.

Limitations & Caveats
