Starhive Next.js Starter

Starhive Next.js Starter is a boilerplate category template that pairs a Next.js application with the Starhive public API, giving developers a working starting point they can edit and deploy rather than a page-by-page build. It runs on Next.js and ships with a ready-to-deploy Vercel configuration maintained under the starhive-labs GitHub organization.

What is the Starhive Next.js Starter?

The Starhive Next.js Starter is a starter project built on Next.js that connects to the Starhive public API. It takes the form of a minimal Next.js app whose entry page lives at app/page.tsx, and it produces a runnable web application you can extend with your own Starhive-backed data. The project is published by Starhive (its repository sits under the starhive-labs GitHub account) and is intended as a base for new Next.js builds.

Key Features

• Next.js framework — the app is a Next.js project using the app directory, with the editable home route at app/page.tsx and hot reloading as you save changes.
• Starhive public API integration — the starter is wired to Starhive's public API, so the project begins from a real backend connection rather than an empty shell.
• Four package managers supported — the documented setup runs with npm run dev, yarn dev, pnpm dev, or bun dev.
• Local development on port 3000 — running the dev script serves the site at http://localhost:3000 for immediate browser preview.
• Optimized font loading with next/font — the template uses Next.js's next/font module to load Inter, a custom Google Font, with automatic optimization.
• One-click Vercel deployment — a "Deploy with Vercel" button clones the starhive-labs/starhive-nextjs-starter repository and sets up the project on the Vercel platform.
• Documentation links built in — the README points to the Next.js docs and interactive tutorial plus the Starhive website and official product documentation.

Who is it for?

• Developers starting a Starhive-backed app: they clone the starter and edit app/page.tsx instead of configuring a Next.js project and API connection from scratch.
• Teams prototyping on Vercel: they use the deploy button to get a running instance of the Next.js plus Starhive stack hosted on Vercel quickly.
• Next.js learners exploring API integration: they use the project as a small, readable codebase pairing standard Next.js conventions (app directory, next/font) with a live backend.

How does the Starhive Next.js Starter work?

1. Get the project, then run one of npm run dev, yarn dev, pnpm dev, or bun dev to start the development server.
2. Open http://localhost:3000 in a browser to see the result.
3. Edit app/page.tsx; the page updates automatically on save.
4. Optionally deploy through the Vercel button that clones the source repository.

FAQ

What does the Starhive Next.js Starter do?

It provides a ready-made Next.js application connected to the Starhive public API. You run it locally, edit the home page file, and deploy — the boilerplate setup between Next.js and Starhive is already done for you.

Do I need a package manager other than npm?

No. The documentation lists npm, yarn, pnpm, and bun as interchangeable ways to launch the development server, so whichever you already use works with the starter.

How do I deploy the starter?

The documented path is the Vercel platform: the README's Deploy with Vercel button points at the starhive-labs/starhive-nextjs-starter repository and creates a new Vercel project from it.
