**
The Problem:
**
Every time I start a new project, I waste hours figuring out:
The right CLI commands (create-next-app vs vite vs remix).
Which versions of TanStack Query, shadcn/ui, Tailwind, etc. work together.
How to set up authentication, DBs, or deployment without copy-pasting old projects.
Official docs are great, but they don’t tell you how to combine tools efficiently.
**
The Solution I’m Considering:
**
A “Smart Stack Generator” that lets you:
Select your stack (e.g., Next.js + Tailwind + shadcn/ui).
Get a 1-click install command (with version-checked dependencies).
Export a pre-configured starter repo (with CI/CD, auth, etc.).
Example Output:
npx stack-wizard --nextjs --shadcn --tanstack --vercel
(This would generate a fresh repo with everything set up!)
**
Why This Might Be Useful:
**
🚀 Save time → No more stitching together tutorials.
🔒 Avoid version conflicts → Warns about incompatible libs.
💡 Best practices baked in → ESLint, folder structure, etc.
**
But I Need Your Honest Feedback:
**
Would you use this? Or do you prefer manual setup?
What’s your biggest pain point when starting projects?
What features would make this indispensable?
(Upvote 👍 if you’d try it, or comment with your thoughts!)
**
Why I’m Asking:
**
I’m a developer too, and I’m tired of:
🕒 Wasting time on boilerplate.
🧩 Debugging dependency hell.
📚 Scouring 10 different docs just to start coding.
If enough people find this useful, I’ll build a free MVP and share it here!

Frontend devs: What’s your ideal starter stack?
Backend devs: Would you use this for API templates?
Everyone: What’s the #1 thing you’d want this tool to do?
