Overview

The Nextbase Open Source Starter Kit is designed to significantly reduce the time and effort required to launch new web applications. It bundles a powerful and popular set of modern technologies, including Next.js 14 for server-side rendering and API routes, TypeScript for type safety, Supabase for a robust backend-as-a-service (database, authentication, storage), and Tailwind CSS with Radix UI for a highly customizable and accessible user interface. This combination provides developers with a solid, future-proof foundation.

The kit comes pre-configured with essential features such as complete authentication flows (supporting magic links and various OAuth providers), protected routes, and type-safe database queries. It also integrates API routes and server actions, making it easy to connect your frontend with backend logic. With one-click deployment to Vercel, developers can get their applications live in minutes, allowing them to focus on building unique features rather than setting up infrastructure.
