About
About Frontend Nav
Built with Next.js 13, TypeScript, Radix UI components, Tailwind CSS, NextAuth.js for authentication, Prisma ORM with MySQL on PlanetScale, and Puppeteer for automated screenshot generation, this project demonstrates modern web application development while solving a real problem: the overwhelming fragmentation of frontend resources across the internet. The platform features automated webpage information capture using Puppeteer to extract metadata, titles, and descriptions, shareable website cards with screenshots for visual recognition, user authentication allowing developers to save their personal collections, organized categorization of resources by topic, framework, or use case, dark mode support for comfortable browsing in different environments, and one-click deployment to Vercel for easy hosting. Inspired by the Taxonomy project, Frontend Nav emphasizes clean data presentation, intuitive navigation, and rapid resource discovery.
The application uses MySQL hosted on PlanetScale for scalable database management, Prisma for type-safe database queries, and NextAuth.js for flexible authentication supporting multiple providers. This project is valuable for developers building resource directories or curated link collections, learning modern full-stack Next.js development patterns, studying how to implement web scraping with Puppeteer for metadata extraction, creating personal knowledge bases or bookmark managers, and understanding how to build CRUD applications with authentication and database integration. Frontend Nav serves both as a practical tool for organizing frontend resources and as an educational codebase demonstrating production-ready Next.js architecture.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before you ship with Frontend Nav.
Frontend Nav is a curated navigation website designed to collect, organize, and showcase high-quality frontend development resources from both domestic and international sources, making it easy for developers to discover essential tools, libraries, tutorials, and communities. It is an open source template in the shadcn.io collection of 215.
Frontend Nav is made by Wangfengyuan, an independent developer; shadcn.io lists it but did not make it. Wangfengyuan has 1 template in the collection, and the author's page lists them.
The listing tags Frontend Nav with Next.js, React, Tailwind, Prisma and Full-stack. Those are its categories, not a dependency list: the exact packages and versions are in the repository's package.json.
Yes. The Frontend Nav page embeds its live demo from webnav.codefe.top, and links to it so you can open the real deployment before you clone.
The Frontend Nav 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.
Clone the repository (git clone https://github.com/wangfengyuan/frontend-nav), then follow the README. The Frontend Nav page shows the usual steps and a terminal block with the commands to copy.
Install dependencies with npm install or pnpm install, then run npm run dev. The README in the Frontend Nav repository says which package manager and environment variables it needs.
No. Frontend Nav 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.
Frontend Nav 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 Frontend Nav listing doesn't record a license. Check the LICENSE file in its repository (https://github.com/wangfengyuan/frontend-nav), and ask the author if there isn't one.
That depends on Frontend Nav'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 Frontend Nav'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. Frontend Nav is the author's project, under the terms in its repository.
Wangfengyuan supports Frontend Nav, 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, Frontend Nav 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 Frontend Nav 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 Frontend Nav for you. Your files stay on your machine.
The collection has 21 other open source Prisma templates like Frontend Nav, shown at the foot of its page with the ones sharing most categories first. All of them are at /template/category/prisma.
Wangfengyuan 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.
