Everything included

Batteries included, opinions optional

The unglamorous groundwork is done. Pick up a clean, typed codebase and start shipping the parts that make your product yours.

Authentication built in

Login, register, and protected routes backed by JWT in a secure httpOnly cookie — wired end to end.

Polished design system

Token-driven colours, spacing, and radii power 25+ reusable components — and a dark-mode hook.

Typed monorepo

A clean npm-workspaces layout separating the Nuxt app, Express API, and shared types.

MongoDB + Mongoose

Battle-tested data layer with models, validation, and a health endpoint that never lies.

Secure by default

helmet, credentialed CORS, rate limiting, and validated env — production hygiene from day one.

Built to extend

No business logic baked in. Add your modules and ship — the foundation gets out of your way.

How it works

From clone to shipping in three steps

  1. 1

    Clone & install

    Pull the repo and run a single install. Workspaces wire the web app, API, and shared package together.

  2. 2

    Configure & run

    Drop in your env values, point at MongoDB, and start both apps with one command.

  3. 3

    Build your product

    Add pages, models, and routes on top of a structure that already handles the boring parts.

Auth & access

Secure sessions, zero boilerplate

Cookie-based JWT auth, guarded routes, and role-aware middleware are ready out of the box. Your users sign in; you focus on features.

  • httpOnly cookie sessions
  • Guest & auth route guards
  • Role-gated admin areas
Admin dashboard

A workspace your team will actually use

A responsive dashboard shell with sidebar navigation, stat tiles, tables, and a full component kit — consistent on every screen.

  • Responsive dashboard shell
  • Data tables & KPI tiles
  • Toasts, modals & forms

“We skipped weeks of setup. Auth, the design system, and the API conventions were exactly what we would have built ourselves.”
Avery StoneFounding Engineer, Northwind
“The component kit is genuinely production-grade. Our admin panel looked finished on day one.”
Priya NairProduct Lead, Quantel
“Clean monorepo, sensible defaults, nothing magic. It is the starter I keep reaching for.”
