Next.js Tailwind TS Template

Next.js 13 + Tailwind CSS v3 + TypeScript Template is a plug-and-play starter that scaffolds a web application with the Next.js 13 framework, Tailwind CSS for styling, and TypeScript for type safety. Released under the MIT license, it lives in the GitHub repository Tittoh/nextjs-tailwind-ts and has a live Vercel deployment linked on the template page.

What is the Next.js Tailwind TypeScript Template?

It is a boilerplate project that combines Next.js 13, Tailwind CSS v3, and TypeScript into a single preconfigured starting point for web development. The template provides a basic directory structure and custom configuration for Next.js, integrates Tailwind for utility-first CSS, and wires up Yarn as the package manager. It also bundles Heroicons for SVG icons and Headless UI for accessible, unstyled components.
