starter-repo-for-reuse-nextjs is a minimal Next.js starter template that provides a barebone project structure for reuse, with a layout inspired by course websites for Frontend Masters.
What is starter-repo-for-reuse-nextjs?
Starter-repo-for-reuse-nextjs is a GitHub repository that serves as a starting point for building Next.js applications. It contains a barebone structure, meaning the minimal files and folders needed to run a Next.js project, so developers can reuse it as a base. The project is deployed to Vercel for demonstration at https://starter-repo-for-reuse-nextjs.vercel.app/, and its layout is largely inspired by Brian Holt's course websites, as illustrated in his intro-to-web-dev-v2 example.
