An open source application built using the new router, server components and everything new in Next.js 13.

Warning This app is a work in progress. I'm building this in public. You can follow me on Twitter @rohansen856. See the roadmap below.

About this project

This project as an experiment to see how a modern app (with features like authentication, subscriptions, API routes, static pages for docs ...etc) would work in Next.js 13 and server components.

This is not a starter template.

A few people have asked me to turn this into a starter. I think we could do that once the new features are out of beta.

Note on Performance

I prefer Speed over Style. This project is built with minimal animations to ensure insanely fast load speed and a error resistant backend.

Features

• New /app dir,
• Routing, Layouts, Nested Layouts and Layout Groups
• Data Fetching, Caching and Mutation
• Loading UI
• Route handlers
• Metadata files
• Server and Client Components
• API Routes and Middlewares
• Authentication using NextAuth.js
• ORM using Prisma
• Database on PlanetScale
• UI Components built using Radix UI
• Documentation and blog using MDX and Contentlayer
• Subscriptions using Stripe
• Styled using Tailwind CSS
• Validations using Zod
• Written in TypeScript

Roadmap

• Add MDX support for basic pages
• Build marketing pages
• Subscriptions using Stripe
• Responsive styles
• Add OG image for blog using @vercel/og
• ~Dark mode
• Add notifications system
• Add chat functionality

Known Issues

A list of things not working right now:

1. GitHub authentication
2. Prisma: Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/var/task/.next/server/chunks/schema.prisma'
3. Next.js 14: Client side navigation does not update head
4. Cannot use opengraph-image.tsx inside catch-all routes

Why not tRPC, Turborepo or X?

I might add this later. For now, I want to see how far we can get using Next.js only.

If you have some suggestions, feel free to create an issue.
