- Next.js with SSG: Leverage Next.js for your frontend, with Static Site Generation (SSG) support out of the box.
- TurboRepo Integration: Build fast, with optimal monorepo management and efficient CI/CD workflows.
- Shared Packages: Easily manage reusable code and configurations across multiple apps and services within the monorepo.
Forjnot is tailored for serious development needs and offers:
- A streamlined setup for rapid project initiation.
- A clean, efficient architecture for both frontend and backend development.
- A modular approach that allows for seamless scaling and microservice integration.
- A configuration-free experience—no unnecessary bloat or overhead, just exactly what you need to get started.
This is not a generic starter template. Forjnot is meticulously crafted for developers who seek clarity, precision, and real-world scalability.
