24 alternatives to Rails-like CLI for building full-stack Nextjs apps faster
Hello, HN! Excited to share Kirimase, a CLI tool I built to scratch a recurring itch: is there a better way to set up my nextjs projects with my essentials packages? If you’ve grappled with the repetitive chore of configuring orm (drizzle orm or prisma), auth (next-auth, clerk or lucia-auth), trpc, shadcn-ui and resend (email), I hope this can help! Features Quick init: Dive straight into development without the mundane initial setup for core packages. Scaffolding: Inspired by the Rails CLI's scaffold feature, Kirimase helps you quickly set up new DB models + controllers (api and trpc…

Hey folks, I'm building a free and open-source monorepo template for "production-grade Next.js apps". Basically everything you need to go from "new idea" to "Series A level product" very quickly. It's almost at 500 stars on GitHub so I thought I might share it here. It comes pre-configured with analytics, auth, a blog, dark mode, transactional email, feature flags, monitoring, ORM + database, payments and heaps more. It's quite opinionated but very fast and very neat. I hope it helps you make something awesome.

We're excited to announce Lowdefy V4, a full-stack web framework built on top of Next.js that simplifies building web applications, internal tools, admin panels, BI dashboards, and CRUD apps using YAML or JSON configuration files. New in V4: Next.js: Lowdefy now runs on top of the Next.js framework. All of Auth.js: App auth is now handled by Auth.js supported providers, adapters and callbacks and events, easy to configure, but all of which can be customized. Plugin extensibility: Apps can now be extended with any npm or pnpm workspace plugins. Our story: We have developed a simple…

Multitui▲126I made Multitui to control the sandbox of coding agents easily without changing my dev environment (no special container or VM). There's no configuration required in your local dev environment... just launch ClaudeCode.app instead of claude in your general terminal. Containers and VMs can be useful, but I always have a bunch of projects going and those solutions feel heavy. Multitui creates single-purpose native macOS apps for any terminal app, with optional sandbox. It uses the built-in macOS sandbox-exec along with log monitoring to give you an easy UI to manage rules, see what's being…

We've been building Crust (https://crustjs.com/), a TypeScript-first, Bun-native CLI framework with zero dependencies. It's been powering our core product internally for a while, and we're now open-sourcing it. The problem we kept running into: existing CLI frameworks in the JS ecosystem are either minimal arg parsers where you wire everything yourself, or heavyweight frameworks with large dependency trees and Node-era assumptions. We wanted something in between. What Crust does differently: - Full type inference from definitions — args and flags are inferred automatically. No…

Hey HN , My product is targeted at developers who want to save 20+ hours writing the same boilerplate code. *Next Inject* is a CLI that lets you configure services such as payments, authentication, and SEO with a single command. *Next Inject* is straight to the point; you get exactly what you pay for, i.e. run `next-inject add stripe` and voila, you can now accept payments from users. Now there are products like shipfa.st that solve this problem, but for *6x* the price, and *20x* more boilerplate to overwhelm developers. Additionally, each Next Inject plugin has an optimized docs page to…

I built bknd because I was tired of stitching together auth, file storage, and database APIs every time I started a new project. Existing solutions were either too hard to extend, too basic, or required a separate deployment. bknd runs directly inside your frontend app — no separate backend required. It works with Next.js, Remix, Astro, React Router. It also runs standalone on Cloudflare Workers, AWS Lambda, Bun, or Node. It supports Postgres, LibSQL (Turso), D1, SQLite and has adapter-based storage. You get instant APIs, multi-strategy auth, media handling and a built-in Admin UI. Curious…

Scaffolder is a CLI tool written in Golang to instantly generate skeleton project structure with boilerplate code, that's taken from configurable YAML file, to quickly kick-start your project I was tired of manually creating the project structure, with all those folder, files... So I decided to create a CLI tool that allows you to instantly generate skeleton projects, based on a reusable YAML file with boilerplate code if specified. YAML is very easy for both humans and programs to work with and parse, hence why it's the most logical choice in context of Scaffolder. Check out the GitHub page…

I'm working on a CLI that helps you create the boilerplate of your project in multiple languages and frameworks. In case of front-end frameworks/libraries, with cli you'll be able to create the project, set up git on your local, add the UI-framework, testing framework, and linting, and in the future releases you'll be able to even add pre-designed components. The CLI currently supports React, Angular, Vue, Svelte and Node.js will be released today. Also soon, you'll be able to deploy your applications to AWS with a single command. Appreciate your feedbacks and all the contributions are…
