Open-sourcing Foundation CLI — a dependency-aware project scaffolding tool

I’ve been experimenting with a CLI tool for my own workflow that tries to simplify starting new projects.

The idea is that instead of manually wiring frameworks, databases, auth, etc., you describe the stack you want and the CLI generates the project structure.

For example something like:

"I want a SaaS with Next.js, Express, PostgreSQL and JWT auth"

The tool resolves dependencies, merges configs, and sets up the integration code automatically.

I'm curious if people here actually find tools like this useful, or if most devs prefer starting projects manually.

Would love to hear how others approach bootstrapping new projects.
