Yehez NextChakra Starter

Yehez NextChakra Starter is a Next.js + TypeScript + Chakra UI starter template created by Yehezkiel Gunawan to eliminate repetitive configuration and let developers focus on building features.

What is Yehez NextChakra Starter?

Yehez NextChakra Starter is a GitHub boilerplate template that scaffolds a Next.js 12 application with TypeScript and the Chakra UI component library. It takes a project name as input and produces a working app with responsive layout, SEO optimization, and pre-configured linting and formatting. The template runs on Vercel, Netlify, or any platform that supports Next.js, and includes one-click deploy buttons for Vercel and Netlify.

Key Features

• Linting and formatting tooling — ESLint, Prettier, Husky, and lint-staged are pre-configured for code quality and consistent style.
• Responsive layout — Uses Chakra UI's media query system to provide a basic responsive layout out of the box.
• SEO optimization — Integrates next-seo for managing meta tags and search engine visibility.
• Next.js 12 with Rust Compiler Minification — Enabled by default in next.config.js and can be turned off there.
• TypeScript support — Written in TypeScript, the template's language, for type safety.
• Modularized components — Layout and component structure based on the Sozonome NextChakra Starter concept.
• Deployment buttons — Direct deploy to Vercel or Netlify via repository import links.

Who is it for?

• Next.js developers who want a pre-configured Chakra UI + TypeScript starting point without repeating setup.
• Indie hackers who need a fast, SEO-friendly front-end boilerplate for a new project.
• Developers learning React who want a small, readable codebase with linting and formatting already configured.

What can you do with Yehez NextChakra Starter?

• Launch a personal site — Use the responsive layout and SEO setup to ship a personal landing page quickly.
• Start a Chakra UI project — Skip component library configuration and begin with a styled foundation.
• Learn the Sozonome pattern — Study a modularized component structure while following the referenced template's concepts.
