Rails-like CLI for building full-stack Nextjs apps faster

In plain words

Kirimase is a CLI tool for scaffolding full-stack Next.js applications. It automates initial setup for common packages including ORMs (Drizzle or Prisma), authentication solutions (Next-Auth, Clerk, Lucia), tRPC, Shadcn-UI, and Resend for emails. The tool generates database models, API controllers, and UI components, similar to Rails' scaffolding feature. It is designed for developers who want to skip repetitive configuration and start building immediately.

In the maker’s words, at launch

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…

  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.

  Talanoa▲346

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
