next-kickstart

Feature packed Next.js boilerplate. Zero setup. Edge ready.

Some features depend on environment variables (indicated in features list with 💡) and so require enabling. They are disabled by default so that the app runs without any setup. They can be enabled by uncommenting all lines under where @enable {feature} appears.
