PocketStarter
A PocketBase + Next.js boilerplate with auth and Stripe payments built in.
Most PocketBase projects die in the boring part: wiring auth, payments, and the basic app shell. PocketStarter ships a production-ready PocketBase + Next.js setup so you stop gluing libraries together at 2 a.m. It gives you a clean starting line for a real product, not a weekend demo.
Shipping a PocketBase app shouldn’t take a week
Building is fun. Setup is hell.
Every “simple” PocketBase + Next.js project turns into the same slog: auth flows, route protection, Stripe wiring, email bits, and a UI stack that collapses the moment you touch it.
PocketStarter (pocketstarter.dev) shows up with the boring parts already done.
What PocketStarter actually is
PocketStarter is a starter kit for shipping PocketBase apps with a Next.js front end.
Not a toy repo. Not “clone this and good luck”. It’s built to get you from zero to paid users without spending your first two weeks reading docs, patching auth edge cases, and chasing payment bugs.
Here’s the deal: the value isn’t “Next.js + PocketBase”. You can do that in an hour. The value is the tight, working integration across the parts that usually break when you launch.
The stack (picked for speed)
Next.js + TypeScript + Tailwind
You get a modern web app base with TypeScript and Tailwind CSS so you can move fast without the UI turning into a junk drawer.
PocketBase authentication
Auth comes wired so you can stop reinventing login, sessions, and protected pages.
OAuth support
If you want “Sign in with X” instead of yet another password box, the path is already there.
Stripe payments
Stripe sits in the template so you can sell from day one - subscriptions or one-time payments - without a weekend of webhook dread.
Brevo in the mix
Email tooling shows up as a first-class citizen, because “I’ll add email later” is how products lose users.
Why this matters (for builders, not tourists)
Boilerplates get a bad rap because most of them ship noise.
PocketStarter aims at one thing: reduce the number of moving parts you must stitch together before you can test a real offer.
That means: - faster MVPs - fewer launch-day surprises - cleaner code you won’t hate in a month
Who should use it
If you’re building a SaaS, an internal tool, a paid micro-product, or anything that needs accounts and billing, pocketstarter.dev is a brutal time-saver.
If you only want a static landing page, skip it.
You don’t need more tutorials. You need a base that runs.
