      <title>I created KianKit so you don't have too</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;I create new projects. A lot. Whether those projects get finished is variable.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I find it fun to build new stuff. Though, rewriting stuff that I've written 10s of times previously is uninteresting, and boring. I often find it easy to procrastinate adding auth, sessions, database, etc.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Yet, I understand that it is necessary for my projects. So I created &lt;a href="https://github.com/cowboycodr/KianKit"&gt;KianKit&lt;/a&gt;. KianKit is a free, open-source, SvelteKit &amp;amp; Supabase boilerplate that offers super fast development speeds while being hyper extensible.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;KianKit provides you with all of the essentials:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;auth&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;components&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;theming&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;icons&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;tailwindcss&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Supabase&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This allows you to fully develop apps/MVPs in a weekend.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;My goal for KianKit is to iteratively update the boilerplate so the newest standards, and frequently add new stuff. Once I feel that it is at a stable place I will release &lt;code&gt;v1&lt;/code&gt; and move all development to a new branch. I will do this for every release. So that you can deploy on a finished boilerplate -- rather than an in progress one.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;KianKit's starter page/ auth is hosted at &lt;a href="https://kit.fromkian.com"&gt;kit.fromkian.com&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Thanks for reading. There is much more to come.&lt;/p&gt;
