Introduction

create-nexter is a zero-config CLI tool that helps you kickstart modern Next.js apps with an opinionated project structure.
It integrates best practices for scalability, developer experience, and clean code — with optional Tailwind CSS setup.

Designed for frontend developers and teams who want consistency and speed when starting new projects.

🚀 Features

• Interactive CLI with project language selection (JS/TS)
• Uses create-next-app under the hood
• Designed for developers, scalable for teams
• Supports TypeScript and JavaScript
• Preconfigured Tailwind CSS (optional, can be customized)
• Includes professional base components like Hero
• Modular architecture with clean folder structure

Getting Started

To scaffold a new project, run:

npx create-nexter my-app

You will be prompted to select your preferred language: TypeScript or JavaScript.

Once complete, start your development server:

cd my-app
npm run dev
