Drift Detection

Know when your config drifts from the template. Catch issues before they become incidents.

🧩

Plugin System

Extend without forking. Hook into export, health checks, and more with a simple plugin API.

The Before & After

Stop copy-pasting boilerplate. Start with battle-tested foundations.

mkdir my-app && cd my-app
npm init -y
npm install next react react-dom
npm install @supabase/supabase-js
npm install stripe
mkdir src app components lib
// Copy-paste auth logic...
// Copy-paste billing logic...
// Hope it all works together
// Debug integration issues
// ...still not production-ready
