Overview

React Starter Kit is an advanced boilerplate designed to give developers a significant head start in building AI-powered SaaS applications. It meticulously integrates a modern tech stack, including React 19, Vite, Astro, TanStack Router, Jotai for state management, and shadcn/ui with Tailwind CSS v4. This comprehensive setup aims to eliminate the tedious initial configuration phase, allowing teams to jump directly into feature development.

The kit emphasizes an 'AI-First' approach, providing pre-built configurations and instructions for popular LLM tools like Claude Code, Cursor, and Gemini CLI, streamlining AI integration from the outset. Its 'Edge-First' architecture leverages Cloudflare Workers for optimized performance, global distribution, and instant deployments, ensuring applications are fast and scalable. Furthermore, it includes a complete authentication system with social providers and session management, alongside a multi-tenant database solution using Neon PostgreSQL and Drizzle ORM, complete with migrations and type-safe queries. The inclusion of the Bun runtime promises instant builds, hot reloads, and a unified development experience, making it a powerful foundation for ambitious SaaS projects.
