The best way to setup an opinionated, full-stack, typesafe Next.js project
What is this? Some kinda template?
Kind of. We love all of the technologies that create-t3-app includes - check out init.tips for even more info on topics such as state management and deployment - but we do not believe these are needed on every project.
So we made create-t3-app to do one thing: Simplify complex boilerplate around the core T3 Stack tech without compromising the pieces modularity. This is NOT an all-inclusive template and we expect you to bring your own libraries as well.
Libraries that work
Without the complex setup
create-t3-app gives you the option to install libraries that you need without the hassle of scaffolding it all yourself.
