Overview
Admin dashboard starter built on Next.js 16 (App Router), React 19, Tailwind CSS v4 and shadcn/ui on Base UI primitives. Tables, forms, auth, organizations and billing are wired end to end, using TanStack Query with server prefetch and nuqs URL state. A cleanup script removes demo features you do not need, including Clerk.
Who it is for: Frontend developers starting a SaaS dashboard or internal admin tool on Next.js
Ranked among open-source alternatives to ShipFast (#5 of 10).

- Pulling upstream changes after forking can cause merge conflicts
