Frontend Foundation: A Swap-Friendly Next.js Starter Template

Frontend developers often struggle with long-lived projects where UI becomes tightly coupled to state libraries, HTTP clients, or backend frameworks.

Frontend Foundation solves this by:

• Decoupling UI from all implementations
• Allowing library swaps without changing any frontend code
• Using Tailwind CSS design tokens for scalable, maintainable styling

Key Features:

• Next.js 14 App Router + TypeScript strict mode
• Token-driven Tailwind CSS (dark/light themes via next-themes)
• Clear folder responsibilities (hooks, services, clients, stores)
• Documentation baked in via GitHub Pages

How to see it in action:

• Template repo: https://github.com/NitinNair89/frontend-foundation
• Sample apps (coming soon)

This starter kit is ideal for senior engineers and teams aiming for global-scale frontend architecture.
