About
About Next.js 16 Starter Shadcn
This robust, opinionated starter features App Directory structure for modern Next.js development, system, light, and dark mode support for user preferences, Next.js Bundle Analyzer for performance optimization, Docker support with both Node.js and Bun configurations for containerization, comprehensive ESLint and Prettier configurations ensuring code quality, recommended VS Code extensions for enhanced developer experience, and cloud development environment options for remote collaboration. Supporting multiple package managers (npm, yarn, pnpm, bun) and providing extensive code quality tooling, this template reduces initial project setup time from hours to minutes while promoting best practices in modern web development.
Perfect for development teams standardizing project structure and tooling, agencies delivering consistent client projects, individual developers building multiple applications with similar requirements, or any scenario where reducing boilerplate setup and decision fatigue enables faster progression from idea to implementation. The preconfigured development environment eliminates the common friction of setting up linting, formatting, and build tools, while the Docker configurations ensure consistent development and deployment environments across team members and production infrastructure, creating a foundation that scales from solo projects to team-based development.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before you ship with Next.js 16 Starter Shadcn.
Next.js 16 Starter Shadcn is a comprehensive starter template built with Next.js 16, React 19, TypeScript 5, Tailwind CSS 4, shadcn/ui, ESLint 9, and Prettier 3, designed to accelerate web development projects with powerful tools and configurations optimized for VS Code development workflows. It is an open source template in the shadcn.io collection of 215.
Next.js 16 Starter Shadcn is made by Siddharthamaity, an independent developer; shadcn.io lists it but did not make it. Siddharthamaity has 1 template in the collection, and the author's page lists them.
The listing tags Next.js 16 Starter Shadcn with Next.js, React and Tailwind. Those are its categories, not a dependency list: the exact packages and versions are in the repository's package.json.
Yes. The Next.js 16 Starter Shadcn page embeds its live demo from nextjs-15-starter-shadcn.vercel.app, and links to it so you can open the real deployment before you clone.
The Next.js 16 Starter Shadcn listing was last updated on October 8, 2025. That date is the listing's, not the repository's: check the repository's commits for recent activity.
The listing has no repository link for Next.js 16 Starter Shadcn. Use its live demo and contact the author to ask for the source.
Without a repository link, there is nothing to install. Ask Siddharthamaity where Next.js 16 Starter Shadcn's source lives.
No. Next.js 16 Starter Shadcn is cloned from its own GitHub repository, so shadcn.io isn't involved. Browsing the page and its live demo need no account either; Pro adds the premium templates, the blocks and the MCP server.
Next.js 16 Starter Shadcn is tagged Next.js, so it deploys wherever a Next.js app does, such as Vercel, a Node.js server or a container. Its README may add steps for its own services.
The Next.js 16 Starter Shadcn listing doesn't record a license. Check the LICENSE file in its repository (linked from the page), and ask the author if there isn't one.
That depends on Next.js 16 Starter Shadcn's license in its repository, which shadcn.io does not set. Read the LICENSE file before you use it in a client or paid project, and ask the author if it is unclear.
Attribution follows Next.js 16 Starter Shadcn's license. Many permissive licenses ask you to keep the copyright notice and license text in your copy; its LICENSE file says exactly what.
No. The Pro license covers shadcn.io's own Pro code, blocks and premium templates. Next.js 16 Starter Shadcn is the author's project, under the terms in its repository.
Siddharthamaity supports Next.js 16 Starter Shadcn, through its GitHub repository: read the docs, open an issue or look for discussions. shadcn.io does not maintain it.
Yes. Once you clone it, Next.js 16 Starter Shadcn is your own code: change the theme, add pages and connect your backend. It uses shadcn/ui, so you can also add more components the same way.
Yes. Components are free with a free account and the blocks are in Pro; both are copied into your project with the shadcn CLI. Check that Next.js 16 Starter Shadcn uses Tailwind CSS and the shadcn/ui setup (a components.json) before you add them, and pick the base library your project already uses.
Yes, with Pro. The shadcn.io MCP server's search_templates tool finds templates by what they are, and returns each one's repository and live demo, so your editor can set up Next.js 16 Starter Shadcn for you. Your files stay on your machine.
The collection has 151 other open source Next.js templates like Next.js 16 Starter Shadcn, shown at the foot of its page with the ones sharing most categories first. All of them are at /template/category/nextjs.
Siddharthamaity has no other templates in the collection.
Yes. The 14 premium templates (Solaris, Reframe Labs, Spherule and Max and more) are built by shadcn.io and come with every Pro plan, if you want maintained code with a design file.
