Every time I started a new Next.js project, I lost the first week to setup.
Authentication. Internationalization. Role-based access. SEO meta tags. Environment validation. Error monitoring. Linting. Testing. CI pipelines.
By the time I had a working foundation, the excitement was gone, buried under configuration files and boilerplate glue code.
I kept rebuilding the same foundation across SaaS projects, so I stopped and built it once: Next Elite.
It is a frontend-first Next.js 16 + React 19 boilerplate designed to consume APIs (REST/GraphQL/BFF) instead of owning a database, allowing you to drop it on top of any backend you already have. It is optimized for speed, SEO, and developer productivity, and it is 100% open source under the MIT license.
